</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>Today, millions of
Vietnamese suffer the effects of chemical defoliants used by the United
States during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange, which contains dioxin (the
deadliest substance known to science), continues to cause death and
sickness to millions of Vietnamese and many U.S. veterans. <br><br>
More than thirty years after the war, Agent Orange remains in areas of
the land and water of Vietnam, and in the bodies of those directly
exposed, causing horrific birth defects to several generations of
children.<br><br>
Now momentum is building to achieve justice for these victims of Agent
Orange! The 5th Agent Orange Justice Tour will focus national
attention on

roots and legislative efforts to achieve comprehensive assistance to the
victims</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>in Vietnam and to
the offspring of U.S. veterans exposed to Agent Orange as well as to
Vietnamese Americans affected. <br><br>

the victims’ stories and find out what you can do!<br>

MINH</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>, whose parents were
exposed to Agent Orange in Quang Tri Province where the sprayings were
most intensive, was born after the war with deformed lower limbs and
other health problems. Minh’s whole family—from his younger sister
who suffers congenital heart and lung disease to his parents who were
directly sprayed—has faced countless hardships because of their medical
conditions.<br>
Minh, now age 33, has emerged an important voice in the campaign for
justice. This past May, 2009, he traveled to Paris where he
testified at an International Tribunal in Support of Vietnamese Victims
of Agent Orange. <br><br>

HIEN</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>, a dynamic leader
and Member of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Association for
Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin (VAVA) and President of the Danang
VAVA. Danang is one of sites of the <i>hot spots</i> where dioxin
from Agent Orange remains in the water and soil, continuing to poison the
land and people. VAVA is the only organization serving,
representing and advocating for Vietnam’s Agent Orange victims. She was
formerly the Director of the Social Affairs Department of the Danang Red
Cross.<br><br>
