 She came in five minutes before visiting hours were over, and on a Saturday night, just kind of matter of factly, walked in and said, well, we have the reports back. You have pancreatic cancer, stage four, and it's very, very bad. I felt like I had—I'm sorry, can I hold on a minute? My name is Pat Friend, and I'm here today talking about my husband, Bill Friend, who served in the United States Army in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. We were married for 47 years. He was the love of my life. He was the father of my two children, and just a really good man. Well, my son was born before my husband left for Vietnam, and my daughter was born in 1971, so a year after he returned. Agent Orange was not on my radar when they were little. It became an issue and a topic of discussion after my husband's illness and after he passed away. My daughter had cervical cancer at the age of, I think it was 35, and had a partial hysterectomy as a result of that. I am more worried now about my daughter and her children just because of the exposure and how much we still don't know about what it can cause. I would hope going forward that the military would be more careful and has learned a lesson about what Agent Orange can do to people before they experiment with something else.
