For anyone interested, another video - of another sick vet - can be found on my video player (attached to my aol profile at [e-mail]). If you know a sick vet, care about one, are married to one, the sibling of one - or just in general someone who cares about them, than you should read these stories and watch the videos. The truth is out there, so maybe someone, will finally pay attention.
Folks, we pay these peoples salaries. It is our responsibility as good Americans, to keep them in check, so if this is scary enough for you - please use your power to make your reps, do the job we put them there to do! Without voices, nothing gets done. The Dept of Defense (and the Dept of Vets Affairs) is just a bunch of dishonest criminals - coming from a vet - combat experienced vet who devoted my life to my country.
If you care - PLEASE - for all of us who served. TAKE A STAND NOW!

I bet a vet who tesified to anyone walking into a recruiting center would get some results, especially if we could get a lot of vets at a lot of Recruiting stations. Create publicity. When the prospective recruits start to turn around before walking in, Things will change.

Maybe we should use these toxins on Pentagon personnel and their families to see if there is truly any danger. If they say there is no danger, then there should be no problem. Right?!!

Tell you what veterans, if you are sick just go to any grade school and ask to testify in front of a third grade class. You will get just as much done about your problem as you will in front of the WIMP congress of this country. These are 535 of the most worthless humans on earth.

Dad sprayed Agent Orange from a CH-46 and has Skin, bladder and Prostate cancer among others and a never treated PTSD.

It has taken the VA and Governnmet 40 years to admit there was any problem. I see no improvement.

It''s the same story: The VA won''t do anything for about 40 years. When they do, it will have a different name with different diagnostic critera. This is nothing new.
They will wait for you vets to die off before any problem is admitted or addressed.

This makes me Glad I never served. However, the Marine bases in Jacksonville, NC I was born and grew up knew it''s water supply was contamimated with Dry Cleaning Chemicals. They said and did Nothing until decades later when they could not deny they were aware of the chemicals and these were dangerous to humans. The only action was trying to contact those who lived there in the from ''68 on and may have been harmed by miscarrages, cancer etc.. NOTE the EXPOSURE STARTED IN ''57 SEEE BELOW!

There are an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people (MARINES AND FAMILIES) exposed to the chemicals tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene, known as PCE and TCE, between 1957 and 1985 in the water they drank, bathed in, and cooked with at Camp Lejeune, estimates Frank Bove, senior epidemiologist at the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Two water treatment centers that served the Marine base were found to be contaminated with "probably some of the highest drinking water exposures ever seen in this country," said Dr. Richard Clapp, a professor at Boston University,

The contaminated wells were shut down in February 1985, but the Marine Corps did not inform all of the exposed residents until they were forced to in the passing of the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Amendment beginning in 2007. Starting in 1999, the ATSDR contacted the parents of 12,598 eligible children, or 80 percent of the estimated total, who lived at the Marine base between 1968 and 1985, for a study determining the rate of specific birth defects and childhood cancers.

So far, the ATSDR found at least 100 babies exposed in utero to the contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune that suffered from birth defects and cancer, including 29 cases of leukemia or lymphoma and 42 cases of a cleft lip or palate.
