AO victims overcome fate
PANO - Although the war ended nearly a half century ago, Vietnam is still suffering from the aftermath of Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin sprayed by the U.S. military.
With strong will, many AO victims have overcome their misfortune to become useful citizens. The People’s Army Newspaper would like to introduce some photos featuring good examples.
