HE'S TAKING ON JOB TO WORK
HARD TO GET YOU ANSWERS IT ON
YOUR SIDE STEVE ANDREWS
INVESTIGATES.
INSPIRED BY THE STORIES OF
2 OF THEIR FALLEN BAY AREA
BROTHERS, A GROUP OF
DETERMINED VETERANS IS LAYING
SIEGE TO CAPITOL HILL. MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS PREPARE YOURSELVES
VETERANS WHO SERVED ON GUAM
DURING THE VIETNAM WAR CLAIM
THAT THE MILITARY EXPOSE THEM
TO TOXIC HERBICIDES AND FOR
PROOF THEY SAY LOOK NO FURTHER
THAN TAMPA BAY WHERE 8 ON YOUR
SIDE SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTER STEPHEN ANDREWS.
STORIES ACTUALLY DISCLOSE
SOME DAMNING EVIDENCE TO BACK
UP THOSE CLAIMS ARE ONE POPE
COUNTY VETERAN WENT TO HIS
GRAVE CLAIMING THAT HE SPRAYED
THE TOXIC HERBICIDE AGENT
ORANGE ALL OVER THAT ISLAND.
THE VA THEN AWARDED A PASCOE
VETERAN BENEFITS BECAUSE HE
WAS EXPOSED ALL WHILE THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CLAIMED
IT NEVER HAPPENED.
THE CALLS ON CONGRESS
CONTINUE. ACCORDING TO FORMER
MARINE BRIAN MAURER A BILL
PROVIDING BENEFITS TO VETERANS
EXPOSED TO TOXIC HERBICIDES
WHILE SERVING ON GUAM NOW HAS
85 CO-SPONSORS IN THE HOUSE
THE PAST 2 DAYS WE'VE WORKING
OF THE SENATE SIDE THE HILL
CONTAMINATION ON BOARD BECAME
A HOT ISSUE 3 YEARS AGO WHEN
FROM A WHEELCHAIR IN HIS
LAKEWOOD HOME AIR FORCE
VETERAN LE ROY FOSTER
TEARFULLY CONFESSED HE SPRAYED
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
GALLONS OF AGENT ORANGE AROUND
US MILITARY BASES EXPLOSION,
10'S OF THOUSANDS OF SERVICE
MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES
HAVE A SPRAY THE MOST DEADLY A
SUBSTANCE ON EARTH.
AND I I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR
ALSO BASED ON GUAM PASCO
COUNTY NAVY VETERAN LONNIE
KILPATRICK.
LONNIE WORKED IN TOP SECRET
ELECTRONIC WARFARE AND WAS
EXPOSED TO THE TOXIC
DEFOLIANT.
AFTER THEY SPRAYED IT JUST
TURNED TO A BURN ORANGE. MADE
EVERYTHING DUSTY. JUST YOU
KNOW EVERYTHING THAT JUST THAT
QUICK AGENT ORANGE PRODUCES A
POWER FROM TOXIC DIOXIN LINKED
TO 14 ALMOST AS MANY OF THEM
DEADLY.
2 YEARS AGO FROM HIS DEATH
BED. LONNIE LAMENTED THAT THE
VA DENIED HIS CLAIM FOR AGENT
ORANGE EXPOSURE. THE DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT DENIED SPRAYING IT
ON BOARD.
THEY ABANDONED MEAN THEY'VE
ABANDONED EVERYBODY I ASKED
CONGRESSMAN GUS BUT IRAQ IS TO
GET INVOLVED.
HE COMMITS THE D O T TO
OPEN LONNIE'S CLASSIFIED FILE,
DEFINITELY CLEAR.
THE HE WORKED IN A
PARTICULAR AREA WHERE AGENT
ORANGE WAS.
DEFINITELY SPRAYED THE VA
AWARDED LOT OF HIS BENEFITS HE
DIED WEEKS LATER, BRIAN MAURER
TRAVELED TO GUAM LAST YEAR TO
GATHER EVIDENCE FOR THE BILL
NAMED AFTER LANI HE SHOWED THE
EPA WERE SPRAYING OCCURRED HAD
A PHONE CALL.
FROM OUR CONTACT WITH THE
US EPA AND THEY TELL ME THEY
GOT POSITIVE DETECTIONS FOR
DIOXIN AT ALL LOCATIONS THAT
WE WANT TO. NOW IN ADDITION TO
THE GUAM BUILD THESE FOLKS ARE
ALSO TEAMING UP WITH VETERANS
WHO SERVED IN THAILAND.
WHERE THE MILITARY ALSO
SPRAYED ON THE VA GRASS
EXPOSURE TO BETTER ENSURE IN
THAILAND IF THEIR JOB PUT THEM
NEAR THE PERIMETER OF THE BASE
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAPS
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BARRACKS
WERE VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
THE PERIMETERS AND OF COURSE
AND A 500 METER DRIPS OWN TOO
SO WE'RE TALKING A LOT OF
PEOPLE EXPOSED IN BOTH
LOCATIONS AND THOSE TESTS
INDICATE THAT THERE WAS SOME
EVIDENCE THAT THE THESE THESE
GUYS ARE TELLING THE TRUTH IN
AND YOU SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE
HOUSE YOU WANT 85 MEMBERS ON
BOARD AREA WHAT ABOUT THE
SENATE ANY SUPPORT ACCORDING
TO BRIAN MOORE KNOW ON ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE
SENATORS AGREED TO INTRODUCE A
COMPANION BILL TO THE MONACO
PATRICK, CENTRAL PACIFIC
REALLY FACT NOT EVEN RICK
SCOTT WHO THEY SAY PROMISED TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL. IT'S NOT
OVER IT'S NOT OVER I REACHED
OUT TO SENATOR SCOTT'S OFFICE
TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT
HE'S LOOKING OVER LEGISLATION
THAT WILL IMPROVE THINGS FOR
THE MILITARY AND THEIR
FAMILIES SO WE'RE GETTING SOME
TIME ALL RIGHT. THANKS IF YOU
HAVE A PROBLEM YOU WOULD LIKE
