I've actually heard about agent orange before and I watched a video about it. It is very sad to see the aftermath of what this horrible chemical did to Vietnam territories. The video I watched briefly talked about what agent orange was and it showed how the chemical is still existing in the land and it causes many kids to be born with defects. It is nice to see someone write about this because many people don't know much about this topic.
