A vivid portrayal of a part of the Vietnam war that many didn't realize. Agent Orange has lasting effects on people and should never have been used, yet the powers that be claimed they had to. Before spraying Agent Orange over in Nam, they sprayed two towns in Arizona with it to see what effects it would have on the people. No one ever told them what they did, it was all done secretly. Those two towns are Globe and Superior here in Arizona. Nothing is ever reported on the news so I continually wonder about what it did to innocent American people and their children. Your poem brought back the memories of this, I have a copy of the secret papers in my possession relating the whole story. Such corruption of the American way of life, let alone over in Nam. Thank you for sharing your story. RoseAnn
