I'm truly devastated.

After getting 84 votes in the Senate less than 2 months ago, the Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act after it was revoted on to correct an error.

This impacts 3.5 million burn pit and Agent Orange veterans who could have received access to health care.
Advocates died fighting for this bill.

Instead of spending their last days with their families, they fought to help their fellow veterans.

Now, more veterans will die waiting for help that was just within our reach but may never come.

Don't ever thank me for my service again.
Veterans exposed to burn pits do not have time to wait for health care, benefits, and compensation.

This thread is of veterans who advocated for toxic exposure legislation and didn't live to see it passed.

Kate Hendricks Thomas died on April 5, 2022.

Using the speed of light and speed of sound, how far away is this lightning strike?
And my phone did not appreciate this... Image
In the span of a fraction of a second you can see how bright that strike was. ImageImageImageImage

Every tweet I post about the Honoring Our Pact Act, I must deal with the situation I'm living with regarding my own exposure along with reliving difficult experiences with my service that I would rather forget.

I can't carry this weight alone.

Please pass this bill this week.
I lost brothers and sisters while fighting in Iraq.

I never expected to lose brothers and sisters while fighting for a bill to be passed.

Advocates died waiting for this bill.

I can't let this fail for them.
I have survivor guilt in trying to get the benefits I was owed.

I have been gaslighted by the very agency that was created to help me.

I must beg to both the Supreme Court and Congress for help.

How much more does our government want to put us through?

We must pass this now.

On March 24th, 2006, I began my mission at Balad Airbase in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. For the next 15 months, I would serve my country proudly. One enemy prove to be the greatest risk to my future; a silent enemy in the form of toxic burn pits.

This is my story.
At Joint Base Balad, government contractors (KBR and/or its subcontractors) burned aerosols, paints, plastics, Styrofoam, rubber, metals, building materials, machinery, military vehicles, batteries, polyvinyl, solvents, tires, asbestos insulation, chemicals, and body parts.
I smelt, saw, felt, and breathed toxic fumes and hazardous smoke day and night. It was as if walking through a dense, acrid fog. The burn pit produced a smoke plume thick enough to limit visibility and produce ashes or particulates from the fire throughout the base.
