Army SPC/5 Richard "Dee" Simmons saw and experienced a lot during his time in Vietnam, but nothing stuck with him more -- literally -- than the Agent Orange defoliant that would cake on his skin to the point that it could be peeled off. In addition to the resulting physical health struggles, Dee like so many deals with PTSD. After years of avoidance, Dee now embraces his story and shares it for younger generations to learn. It also bears noting that Dee is one of our most active and dedicated volunteers.
