Memorializes President and Congress to expand benefits to grandchildren of veterans impacted by Agent Orange.

This resolution calls on the President and Congress to extend benefits to grandchildren of veterans affected by Agent Orange, specifically those diagnosed with Spina Bifida. Currently, only children of affected veterans receive benefits under the "Agent Orange Benefits Act of 1996." The resolution argues that these benefits should be expanded to include grandchildren, who also suffer from the disease, to alleviate financial burdens and provide necessary services.
