Burn pits at military bases are making veterans sick. Now Congress has a plan

Friday I had a great time as a guest with Madeleine Brand on KCRW, NPR's flagship station for Southern California (Listen at the link), highlighting the need to pass federal legislation to provide VA disability and health benefits for veterans who suffered toxic exposures on their deployments. Both the House and Senate VA Committees introduced the legislation this week and the Senate panel already passed theirs. This is a top priority for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) in Washington, DC. Follow me here, LinkedIn, or on Twitter @TomPorterDC for updates and how you can help. Have a reflectful Memorial Day and please remember those who didn't make it home to enjoy it with family and friends. #veterans #military #burnpits #congress #memorialday
