    "Agent Orange"

    Dedicated to those who died from exposure to AO
    and those still fighting their battle today.

    There are over 58,479 names of those who died in
    Vietnam on the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
    The number of Vietnam Veterans who have lost their
    battle with Agent Orange surpasses them all.

    All because of a deadly chemical used to kill
    foliage was sprayed.
    We lose over 390 Veteran Veterans every day.

    Over 130,000 Vietnam Veterans lives are lost
    every single year.
    That's a number no one discusses. One you never
    hear.

    The majority of those who served in Vietnam made it home.
    They didn't know it at the time but they didn't
    come home alone.

    No one knows exactly how many Vietnam Veterans
    have died from exposure to AO, which contained Dioxin.
