Howard Goldin is an Army veteran whose service in Vietnam never ended. The 72-year-old Rockland County resident is packing once again, with his heart full of compassion and forgiveness, but scarred by deep loss because he was sprayed with Agent Orange more than 50 years ago.

CBS News did a feature on Howard Goldin’s story and the effects Agent Orange has had on himself and his family. Agent Orange was supposed to help soldiers by killing vegetation, but eventually caused serious health problems for countless soldiers. Goldin credits Hackensack University Medical Center with saving his life. They put 15 stents in his heart. “He has had multiple heart attacks and close heart attacks and stents improved his symptoms traumatically,” Dr. Lucy Safi said.

In total, Goldin has completed 11 trips back to Vietnam. He collects supplies ranging from crayons to soccer balls, and delivers them to youth in need. He departs next month with half a ton of supplies.
