How may of you are going to release an Orange Balloon on Nov 11th (Veterans Day) to remember those brave men that have died, those still suffering from Agent Orange, all Veterans and those still serving from today?
This is the second year of the balloon release and we would really like to see as many people out there remembering these brave men and women. Agent Orange is still killing our veterans forty years after the war. I lost my brother and I am suffering from many illnesses due to the spraying of Agent Orange, done by our government.
Please get together with your family and friends and each one of you release an orange balloon and remember who gave you the freedom you enjoy everyday. If you goggle (Agent Orange balloon release) you may find that there are others in your city that are doing the same and you could join them and remember together.
God bless you all and thank you, to my fellow Veterans.

Agent orange was not used to kill the VC, it was used to kill the vegatation that the VC was using to hide under while they moved from one place to another. It was not known at the time, except by the people who produced it and the U.S. Government, that it would wind up killing people, theirs and ours. I did not serve in Vietnam, my brother did. I served in Korea where Agent Orange was also used. He and I served at the same time.
