The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 87, introduced by a group of Wisconsin legislators, seeks to officially designate August and October 2025 as Agent Orange Awareness Months in the state. This resolution acknowledges the sacrifices made by veterans, particularly those who served during the Vietnam War, where the herbicide Agent Orange was extensively used. The resolution highlights the serious health risks associated with Agent Orange exposure, including various cancers and genetic damage that can affect veterans' descendants.

The purpose of this resolution is to raise public awareness about the detrimental effects of Agent Orange on service members and their families, as well as to honor those who have suffered from its consequences. It emphasizes the need for recognition of the health issues faced by veterans exposed to this chemical, many of whom are not acknowledged as casualties of the Vietnam War despite their suffering.
