A lot of Vietnam veterans die everyday from the effects of Agent Orange. Memorial Day is also for them.

Yes, my best friend, a Marine helicopter pilot, died of Agent Orange years ago. I cannot unforget the night he died, seeing what that had done to him.

Memorial Day is to pay our respects for the military who gave their lives in service, in defense of the US.

‘A lot of Vietnam veterans die everyday from the effects of Agent Orange. Memorial Day is also for them.‘

Why wouldn’t it be?

If it can be connected to their service, then yes. I said nothing different.

“A lot of Vietnam veterans die everyday from the effects of Agent Orange.”

I had OA exposure back then, doing radiation and whatever the VA decides to throw at me now....I really could give a shit who argues about a distinction without a meaning..
