From Gayle , on Fri, 17 Mar 2000 06:34:00 GMT (in response to: AGENT ORANGE)
I just wanted to add my feelings on the subject..My father served 3 tours in Vietnam and recently died of complications that we believe are due to Agent Orange..I just want all the in country Vietnam Vets and their families to know that each and every one of those vets are a hero in my eyes..I am so glad that my dad did what he felt was right and served his country..It was a war that never should have happened but my dad and others like him fought on foreign soil so that their children wouldnt have to someday fight on American soil..I miss my dad very much and am very angry with the government for the secretive way they have and still are trying to cover this up..Many men lost their lives due to Agent Orange and I feel a special connection to all those children and grandchildren out there who's fathers and grandfathers lives were cut so horribly short..Please realize that these men and women deserve our respect and admiration..They are part of what makes America the country it is today...FREE
