More Description
Agent Orange was a powerful herbicide used by U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War to eliminate forest cover and crops for North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. The U.S. program, codenamed Operation Ranch Hand, sprayed more than 20 million gallons of various herbicides over Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos from 1961 to 1971.
Why does the Veterans Administration ignore the need to test Vietnam Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange? Why has PTSD resurfaced in Vietnam Veterans forty years after the war ended? As a Vietnam Veteran diagnosed with Agent Orange caused cancer and trials with PTSD, I have attempted to examine these two potential death sentences. America needs a plan of action to help over 800,000 Vietnam Veterans still living today. Because of God's grace, I can expose these issues to the American people.
