Agent Orange Memorial Ceremony
Agent Orange was a powerful herbicide used by U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War to eliminate cover and crops for North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. Agent Orange, which contained the deadly chemical dioxin, was the most commonly used herbicide. It was later proven to cause serious health issues - including cancer, birth defects, rashes and sever psychological and neurological problems - among the Vietnamese people as well as retuning U.S. servicemen and their families.
Join us on Saturday evening, September 6, at 7:00 p.m. as we honor all those who have been effected by, and/or died as a result from, Agent Orange.
Further details will be released in August 2025.
