Burn Pits in Vietnam

Many thanks to Task and Purpose‘s PATTY NIEBERG for this fine article on burn pits in Vietnam. The article breaks down the bureaucratic hurdles facing Vietnam vets exposed to toxins by way of burn pits. Despite the devastating and lethal health consequences, these vets have had to fight the VA for coverage, as burn pits have historically fallen outside of the types of exposure the VA acknowledges. Learn more about how the PACT Act may help push long-awaited change on this issue, which could have impacts on descendants as well, and what health conditions could be acknowledged in the future. Yet another reason why legislation like the Loomis Act is so important.
