Not only did they use this poison in Viet Nam over seas, they used it in the United States. In Oregon, in the forests to control and kill the smaller trees for logging on BLM land, and the national forest. I lived here when they did it, in the late 70's, and they knew that there were people living on BLM land and they sprayed any way.Women giving birth to babies with birth defects, clef pallets, miscarriage (which I had one there) we drank the river water, and ate from the land. My husband had some nerve damage too.We had gone to the social security office to tell them our story and how we were being sickened by this, but they did not listen and just

threw out the case.And that was in 1977-'78.I always thought that is was Dow Chemical that was responsible for this, now I guess it was Monsanto, Oh I just looked it up...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_OrangeAccording to the this..it was a joint combination of Dow and Monsanto...Go to the link here, and you can read more..Use in USA:In 1978, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency suspended spraying of Agent Orange in National Forests, due to a threefold increase in miscarriages in women living near forests that had been sprayed.[73][74] (NO shit sherlock) MHA December 2006 Department of Defense report listed Agent Orange testing, storage, and disposal sites at 32 locations throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, Thailand, Puerto Rico, Korea, and in the Pacific Ocean.[75] The Veteran Administration has also acknowledged that Agent Orange was used domestically by U.S. forces in test sites throughout the US. Eglin Air Force Base in Florida was one of the primary testing sites throughout the 1960s.[76]From: Marty Cline <stompingelk@...>Subject: [health] letter at bottom of post"natural remedies" <health >Date: Friday, November 12, 2010, 5:48 AM

The reason for the contempt goes back

to the United States War on Vietnam, in particular August 10th 1961.when the first use of the herbicide Agent Orange began.President Roosevelt speaking of the attack on Pearl Harbour December 7th 1941 stated, "It will be a day that will live in infamy".So too friends will August 10th 1961, for on that day began the spraying of 80 million litres of Agent Orange - manufactured by your company along with others. The spraying was to continue for ten-years. I ask you to imagine every day for ten-years A Vietnamese Pearl Harbour. The loss of life on that day in 1941 was indeed tragic, but consider the loss of life over ten-years, and the millions born years after the war ended in 1975 crippled in mind and body due to Agent Orange.Today in Vietnam there are over three million victims suffering from the effects of Agent Orange, and the company you work for Monsanto, is one of those

responsible.Hugh Grant who holds the positions of President, Chairman, and Chief Executive of your company was just three years of age when the spraying began and 13 years when it stopped. So we cannot blame him then. But, on reaching the age of 23 in 1981 - six-years after the Vietnam War ended, Hugh Grant joined Monsanto, and would have known the history of the company and its products including Agent Orange, its use on Vietnam and the effect on the people and land.When he became President, Chairman and CEO if he did not know of Agent Orange and its use, then he is unfit to remain with the company. Shamefully Monsanto's public relation office to this very day continues to deny any responsibility for the illnesses and deformities that Agent Orange has caused to the people of Vietnam. Nor have they made any financial compensation to the Vietnamese victims. Yet the evidence is plain to see

if Hugh Grant or the people who write these denials were to visit the victims in the hospitals, clinics, or in their homes as I have done many times indeed, the offices of Monsanto and Dow Chemicals - another company responsible for Agent Orange - are just a ten-minute car ride away from the Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.In my visits to these offices I have asked that the director or manager to visit or come with me to the Tu Du Hospital, each time they have refused, instead they give me a statement that denies all responsibility.But Hugh Grant and/or his board members do not have to go to Vietnam to see some of the victims of Agent Orange; they can seen in many cities of the United States, for those who served in Vietnam were also affected and are suffering from the same illnesses and disabilities that the Vietnamese have. Many, again like the Vietnamese victims, have died as a result of

Agent Orange.Friends, next year, 2011, will see the 50th anniversary of the spraying of Agent Orange on Vietnam. Remember the date 10th August. It will be a day when millions in Vietnam and its friends in many countries around the world will commemorate as a day of infamy.Tomorrow, as you walk through the gates of your company Monsanto, I ask you to remember the deaths and disabilities that Agent Orange has caused, especially to the many thousands of innocent children who died in their mother's womb, and those who survived born with deformities and ask yourself: Why am I working for such a company as MONSANTO?Yours sincerelyLen Aldis.
