A Few Shocking
Truths about
Agent Orange Effects
Herbicidal Warfare
Unfortunately many
of the Vietnam Veterans were exposed to Agent Orange while in
Vietnam. It contained dioxin, an extremely toxic chemical. Are you
or do you know a Veteran affected by Agent Orange?
1. Agent Orange
Agent Orange is the code name for one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of it's herbicidal warfare from 1961-1971. A defoliant is any chemical sprayed or dusted on plants to cause it's leaves to fall off. It was used to destroy Vietnam's forest cover and food supply. Up to 200,000 Vietnam veterans could be eligible for disability compensation for disease now associated with Agent Orange.

2. Studies Show
According to Wikipedia.com studies have shown that veterans who served in the South during the Vietnam War have increased rates of cancer, nerve, digestion, skin and respiratory disorders, and many more illnesses and diseases, as a result of exposure to Agent Orange/dioxin. They are eligible for compensation and treatment.
Note:
The video below gave
me some understanding of what soldiers went through during war and
after war. Taking Fire is a series that has been shown on the
Discovery Channel. It was coded with the name COP Michigan in
Afghanistan,Korenagal, sometimes known as “The Valley of Death”
Since I am the wife of a Veteran it helped to give me more insight
about some of the Veteran's feelings and how war affects them and the
entire family as well. War is not pleasant, but it has been apart of
life for many. You may have relatives or friends that have been
affected by the war.

U.S. Navy here Desert Storm I vet. Over at Adventures in Weseland or www.csuhpat1.blogspot.com, here is my latest: http://csuhpat1.blogspot.com/2017/11/music-food-and-cars.html
I just blog about what I see in my travels in life.
Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for your service csuhpat1. You have an awesome blog.
My parents were both in the military. Dad served in the RCAF for 20 years, part of which time he was stationed in Europe with the NATO forces during the rebuilding after WWII. He also worked as a heavy radar technician on the Pine Tree Line during the Cold War era.
As a member of a military family and a mother who formerly cared for chronically ill war veterans, I have great respect for our servicemen and servicewomen, past and present. It's wonderful to see a blog post helping to educate the public about some of what our military personnel have live through. Thank you!
Agent Orange and so many other things have caused tremendous harm. Chemical warfare brings untold damage that no one even realizes.
Your welcome Kyla.
Your right Dr. Elise.
I loved the book Learning to Stay; it was fictional but gave me a better understanding of what service men and their families go through when they are trying to reacclimate to life stateside.
Several generations of my family have been career military - thanks so much for sharing your Meet & Greet with Party in Your PJs!
That is good to hear Lynda H.
That is so good to hear Mother of 3.
