PLACES YOU CAN FIND HELP



Order of the Silver Rose
Anyone who served in Vietnam is considered exposed to Agent Orange. This group of Veterans, Veterans Wifes and Service Officers are bonded together to see that anyone exposed to AO who has been diagonsed with one of the dieases associated with this exposure, recieves recognition. Their primary goal is to have our Government recognize that anyone who has developed one of these dieases is just as wouned as receiving a bullet on the battle field, and should be awarded the Purple Heart. Until this happens, the Silver Rose is being awarded as a "Gratis" award.
