Long term effects of Agent Orange in Viet Nam

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIET NAM - JULY 7: Children that suffer from mental and physical disabilities are seen at the Thien Phuoc Center for Handicapped Children on July 7, 2009 in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.Many of the children in the hospital are from areas that were heavily sprayed with Agent Orange during the war and now suffer from mental and physical problems due to exposure to the toxic herbicide. Memories of the Viet Nam War are dimming, but Viet Namese who were exposed to Agent Orange and other dioxin-laced chemicals during the fighting are still experiencing devastating health effects, and birth defects have brought the impact to a second generation. The U.S. government has yet to make full amends, either in the U.S. or overseas. (Photo by Kuni Takahashi/Getty Images)
