Excerpts from email that I've received:
For the past three years, there has been a bill in one form or another called the “Ft. McClellan Health Registry Act” (current incarnation is HR411) sitting in the Health Subcommittee of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Basically, this bill calls for the VA to grant what is known as ‘presumptive status’ for those who are seeking treatment and served at Ft. McClellan.
Note – all of the remarks in quotations are things I have been told or seen written by members of the various Ft. McClellan social media groups. With rare exception, these vets have asked not to be named, in fear that the few services they have been able to get, the claims they have been allowed to file will be denied. That is the saddest part of all. As soon as they tell their VA caseworker they are a Ft. McClellan vet, are routinely told that their medical issues will not be covered or treated by the VA. Despite mountains of data proving a direct correlation between these toxins and the diseases for which they are seeking treatment, the VA denies case after case.

Toxic Vets - The Poisonous Legacy of Ft. McClellan

Contract No. DACA21-96-D-0018/CK10, Fort McClellan, Alabama
All HadIt.Com brothers and sisters, suffering presumptive diseases, that filed a well-grounded claim that the VARO later denied. Should also file your NOD, DRO, BVA, and USCAVC Appeals, and persevere until you’ve proven your facts-found toxic exposure. Let's spread the word and tell other Veterans to contact their Congressmen and Senators. Ask why they will not co-sponsor the H.R. 411 Health Registry Act.
These “Beltway Politicians” are never reluctant to ask the Wounded Warriors for Votes! Veterans, we must Stand Up, Reload our VA claims ammunition, and continue fighting until those rightfully entitled, receive their VA benefits victory.
