DICK HUGHES:
We decided to form a thing called Loose Cannons and try to get some assistance to people in Vietnam who had been exposed to dioxin and who needed some help.
Most people think Agent Orange was something that happened in the war. They don't realize that the byproduct of Agent Orange, dioxin, is still in the soil, in the vegetation and the fish, and that people today are being born with deformities and illnesses.
It's also being passed down in the genes. The Red Cross estimates there's three million people in Vietnam today suffering with Agent Orange. And it wouldn't take so much, really, to help them, but they are a constituency very far away.
