The War Legacies Project
focuses on
the long-term impacts of war to develop a fuller understanding of
the costs of war, increase public understanding of these costs,
foster public dialogue about the impacts of war and conduct programs
that help mitigate the impacts of war at home and abroad. Currently
our work is primarily focused on the long-term health and
environmental impacts of the use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam
War. We also work to address the on-going impacts of unexploded
ordinance.
