Heads up to Veterans once stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama

There are many many Army Vets that were stationed at McClellan, that have unexplained health issues. I'm one myself.
The news that Ft Mac was a toxic place isn't anything new, but the staggering number of sick Vets from there is.
Here is some info for those that were there.

Here is a petition at the white house website to help vets get this dealt with.

Hope this info helps. It's too damn late to fix My health, but maybe there are a few that it's not too late for.

Yup. Every Soldier that was stationed with Me at McClellan, is having health problems. Every one. They didn't tell us that the ground was saturated with the crap.

I've been there a few times to train with Homeland Security. Staggering the amount of stuff there and what all was done there and stored there.

Thanks Conrad. That bill HR-2052 has been sitting there for a year with nothing happening, while We have Veterans dying. Worthless politicians are to busy trying to get reelected to do whats right for our Vets.
