About

Why and how did this store come about....in about 2012 research was begun to find out if the Panama veterans were exposed to Agent Orange (AO), the same chemical used in Vietnam, which is why this store is named AOshop.online.

 Now it has become my life's work to help these men and women and families who have been affected. First it was a book, Travels of Orange, then it was a website, then a Youtube channel Travels of Orange, then a paper published in the Online Journal of Soil Sciences called Long-Term Environmental Impacts of Pesticide and Herbicide Use in Panama Canal Zone then another website agentorangeinpanama.com to blog about my research, and now this store website to continue the battle for benefits.

Started the store to sell t-shirts and other clothing about AO affecting these veterans to help spread the word. I have learned a lot of skills along the way and enjoy the design side. My research side of the brain is done! You will still see a small section for the Panama CZ veterans.

I appreciate you visiting my store. I am just getting started and can source most anything. I enjoy the design side. If you have a picture you would like to place on merchandise, contact me at info@aoshop.online and I would be happy to make something special. See the backpack I made from my granddaughter's kindergarten first painting here Backpack under the sea hand painted design – AOshop.online. 

Not only does she love using her own-designed backpack in 1st grade, she said she can find it easily when all the backpacks are lined up. Making me one proud grandma and designer!
