Briefing TODAY: Consumer Products Safety and Preventable Burn Injuries
I am pleased to invite you and your staff to attend an important briefing on the critical role flame arrestors can play in preventing devastating burn injuries.
Support Accountability for Burn Pit Exposure
Please join me in cosponsoring the Burn Pits Accountability Act (H.R.
5671), to evaluate the exposure of U.S. servicemembers and veterans to open burn pits and toxic airborne chemicals. Over
140,000 servicemembers and veterans over the past three decades have reported exposure to burn pits and toxic airborne chemicals. However, since there is no mandatory reporting system, there are likely many more servicemembers affected. Exposure can produce
serious and potentially life-threatening health effects, including neurological disorders, rare forms of cancer, lung diseases, and more—triggering some to call the crisis the
‘Agent Orange’ of the post-9/11 generation.
Help Air Force Pilots Seeking Access to HIV Prevention Medication

America’s preserved battlefields are magnificent outdoor classrooms that inspire interest in our nation’s history. They are also living memorials to the valor of citizen soldiers who gave the “last full measure of devotion” to their country and comrades.
