This US flag, which is wrapped in an orange ribbon, was carried to Washington DC by veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange, a chemical defolient known to cause cancer, birth defects and diabetes.
This site is a very nice tribute and I thank you as a Vietnam Combat Veteran. I was in Crystal with my dear friend Jennie's quilts and met so many wonderful veterans and people.
I have some very sad news, Jennie passed on today 9-10-04. She has dedicated her life to veterans and her quilts. I have know Jeanie for many years and have been with her at many events with her quilts. My most memorable time was a march to the VA Headquarters in DC. The flag pictured on this site I believe is the only one in existance. The flag was signed by all who attended the march to DC. I personaly carried this flag to the VA Headquarters even though some critics thought we were defacing the flag. As a grunt I know what the flag stands for and I bled for. God Bless!
