       It is AGENT ORANGE AWARENESS DAY
       August 10 2026
       AGENT ORANGE AWARENESS DAY
       Each year on August 10, Agent Orange Awareness Day presents
       opportunity to provide information regarding the effects of
       Agent Orange. It also serves as a reminder of the lasting damage
       a single decision can cause.
       #AgentOrangeAwarenessDay
       In the early 1960s, Americans used the herbicide in Vietnam to
       clear thick foliage from battlegrounds to eliminate the enemy's
       protective ground cover. The use of Agent Orange impacted U.S.
       troops and the Vietnamese troops and civilians. It cost hundreds
       of thousands of lives and continues to impact survivors today.

       COMMENT:
       My loved one is a widow of Vietnam vet who was exposed to Agent
       orange. Later on he took his own life. He was suffering from
       agent orange symptoms  and to this day his widow is still
       awaiting VA benefits. She has provided The U.S. Department of
       Veterans Affairs local and our county VA benefit people with all
       documents that pertain to where he was exposed to agent orange
       and provided witnesses. She's applied over and over with tragic
       details, There were witnesses locations and proof that he was
       where agent orange was used and medical records.
       It's not easy for the widow of a Vietnam vet to have to go
       through this lengthy application process. Its super hard. It's
       painful for her. I hope I don't offend anybody for using my own
       words... I'm not going to sugar coat it or pull any punches, I
       will tell you the reality of what our soldiers go through..At
       risk of using the wrong words to describe it and To be totally
       blunt. He blew his brains out because he knew he was going to be
       suffering and didn't want to suffer and go through the symptoms
       of agent orange. She found him dead in a pool of blood. He shot
       himself in the head. He had agent orange and he didn't want to
       suffer the following and he understandably couldn't deal with it
       and couldn't take it anymore...This happens sometimes...
       ...By they way he also was like a genius he had a patent and
       helped create first of biofeedback devices ..he designed devices
       that monitored body temperature remotely from a distance and
       things like that. The government took those inventions.. one
       device was called "the puck" and it was like a pill you
       swallowed and one could from a distance monitor body stuff like
       heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature from it and  there
       were watches he designed that monitored body temperature from a
       radio  and stuff like that. Government takes all that stuff and
       uses it for war. I still have some of his gear..medical devices
       and a toolbox full of patches and sensors and a couple boxes
       tons of tiny electric conducers and circuitry stuff. His widow
       has some paper ...it's a patent/ blueprints of what he invented.
       It's interesting stuff. He was extremely intelligent.
       "Those exposed to the chemical suffer a wide range of negative
       medical effects including:
       AL amyloidosis
       Diabetes Mellitus, Type II
       Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
       Leukemia
       Multiple Myeloma
       Parkinson's Disease
       Prostate Cancer
       Respiratory Cancer
       Soft Tissue Sarcoma
       The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides a registry to
       help veterans and their families receive treatment. Those with
       suspected exposure can receive an exam free of charge from
       Veterans Affairs."
