AUTHOR:
Lt Elmo Zumwalt 3rd
QUOTATION:
I realize that what I am saying may imply that my father is responsible for my illness and Russell’s disability…. I do not doubt for a minute that the saving of American lives was always his first priority. Certainly thousands, perhaps even myself, are alive today because of his decision to use Agent Orange.
