BERLIN — A small group of veterans gathered at Veterans Memorial Park late Sunday afternoon to explain why they are voting today for Joe Biden for president.

State Rep. Bill Hatch of Shelburne said his support for Biden goes back 20 years when Biden advocated for Vietnam veterans as a U.S. senator from Delaware. He said Biden worked to get help for veterans suffering from the effects of Orange Agent, the herbicide the United States used to defoliate forested areas in Vietnam.
