those veterans who have suffered

gravely from the unintended consequences of war.

Many service members have been exposed to

the harmful effects of toxic substances including

agent orange, burn pits, asbestos, and other

lesser known but equally dangerous chemicals.

Countless men and women have endured

immense suffering or lost their lives as a result.

This tree stands as a tribute to their selfless service,
and sacrifice in defense of all Americans.
