On August 10 – Agent Orange Awareness Day – Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund will bring light to the continuing dark toll of the war by placing thousands of orange candles at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.
The Vietnam War may be over, but the battle continues for many Vietnam veterans. Nearly 3 million service members served in Vietnam and most returned home.
But since then, thousands of Vietnam veterans have fought illnesses related to Agent Orange exposure. This deadly toxin has impacted the lives of thousands of veterans and their families but is largely unknown to most Americans.
