A remembrance service for those impacted by Agent Orange almost didn’t happen because of a crime committed over the weekend.
The balloon release, playing of taps and guest speakers were almost called off after it was discovered Sunday that vandals, likely attempting to steal metal, cut the power to the Delaware Valley Vietnam Veterans building. PECO and a local electrical contractor worked with the veterans to get the lights on in time for the ceremony, 6abc.com reported.
