Bill > SJ00012

This resolution recognizes and honors the courageous service of Vietnam War veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange during their military service. Agent Orange was a toxic herbicide and defoliant chemical used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to remove forest cover and crop vegetation, which later was found to cause significant health problems for many veterans who were exposed to it. The resolution aims to acknowledge the sacrifices and challenges faced by these veterans, highlighting the importance of remembering and supporting those who served during this difficult period in American military history. By passing this resolution, the legislative body is demonstrating respect and appreciation for the veterans who were potentially harmed by chemical exposure during their military service.
