Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial to observe Agent Orange Awareness Day
PERRYVILLE, Mo. (KFVS) – Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial will “go orange” to observe Agent Orange Awareness Day.
According to a release from the museum, each year August 10 marks the day in 1961 when the substance was first used in Vietnam and is meant to pay tribute to those who were exposed to the deadly compound.
On Saturday, Aug. 10, the museum will have informational displays on Agent Orange, followed by the wall “going orange” at dusk.
Organizers say candles will be available under the pavilion from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. for those wanting to light one in memory of a loved one lost to the effects of Agent Orange.
