Page 93 - Stand Down Vietnam

Napalm and Agent Orange was at Bien Hoa. I remember
one night the VC just outside our parameter started
firing rockets and mortars at us. Our alert birds
dropped Napalm on their site. That stuff is pretty
when it goes off, but it does a lot of damage too. The

use of the chemicals was just part of the war.

Part of my medical is due to Agent Orange. Agent
Orange got its name from the orange stripe painted on
the 55-gallon drums the mixture was stored in.
