A report on the findings was submitted in April, but the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has yet to release it.

As a veteran, it is frustrating to deal with the government to prove exposure to toxins.

The PACT Act was meant to streamline all of this but the burden still falls on the veteran. How many have been exposed knowingly but due to the military not acknowledging it, can not get the required compensation for the problems?

Well, happy Veterans Day.
