Agent Orange Awareness Day was created to inform the public about the harmful effects of a toxic herbicide used during the Vietnam War. This day focuses on veterans, civilians, and future generations affected by exposure.
Many still struggle with serious health problems linked to the chemical. Raising awareness helps support those suffering while pushing for better medical care and recognition.
The observance began as a way to ensure that veterans and their families received the help they deserved. Advocacy groups, including veteran organizations and health researchers, played a major role in bringing attention to the issue.
Over time, the day gained support from communities, lawmakers, and medical professionals. Increased awareness led to more research and stronger efforts to aid those affected.
Remembering this history helps prevent similar tragedies. Understanding the consequences of Agent Orange encourages discussions about chemical use in war. It also reminds people why those harmed continue to seek justice.
