Yes, We Owe Them Big


They Served and They Matter... the "They" are 3.5 million Vets.

"The Sergeant First Class (SFC) Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve."

Still, there is much more:
Iraq
4,431 KIA and 31,994 Wounded
Afghanistan
2,448 KIA and 20,752 Wounded
Plus
3.5,000,000 PACT Wounded
