If you were ever stationed at Ft. McClellan, AL between 1933 and 1999, you were exposed to a combination of toxic chemicals which may be effecting your health right now. If your family was with you, their health may be effected as well. The facts of the exposure are undisputed but the government does not want you to know because it will cost them money and the numbers of veterans and families exposed are enormous.
I am a former Military Police Officer(U.S. Army) and a former Deputy Sheriff/Detective (Orange County Sheriff's Office). Although the base was closed in 1999 because of the chemical contamination, none of us were notified. This was by design. All branches of the military trained at Ft. McClellan, and many were first responders, but the fact is that it was the main base for Military Police training school so if you are a first responder, you or someone you know is effected. Please get the word out. People deserve to know why they, their spouses, and their children are ill. Some of the illnesses are as simple as ADD, and some are as serious as cancer. The majority seem to run in neurological, endocrine, and autoimmune, but depending on when one was exposed and the level of exposure, the list can be quite extensive.
I am including a link that has more details as well as links to government studies. Please take a minute to read the story and then pass along to every single person you know.

Monsanto paid 700 million dollars in damages to the residents of Anniston for the contamination but veterans were excluded. In fact, they were never even notified. The VA and congress are hedging their bets that none of us will put this together but it is coming out. Every year they can postpone the story is a year of financial savings. There is currently a bill in the House HR2052, that would require the V.A. to tell us all and maintain a registry of all that were exposed, but so far it hasn't gotten out of Committee so they still aren't obligated to tell us.
If anyone has any questions or wants more information, you can email me at poisonedpatriots@aol.com. Again, please read and forward.

No shit.

How about not spamming our Message Board with BS? I'm betting this thread will be nuked and OP banned for various reasons.

Google Ft Greely Alaska for some good reading on what I/we were exposed to.

Information received via IM

man....given that bit of info concerning the email address it's a little hard to believe this is just a PSA.....

Yeah I know. Call it an exercise in trust.

Was assured in an Email that the OP was not soliciting clients and that they were former 95 Bravo that had been stationed there.

A change in contact Email was suggested to the OP.

If anyone winds up being solicited as a result of this thread then please post it here or IM me. That would constitute a breach of contract IMHNLO.

so you are an x service member.......thanks for your service and explanation acknowledged.....

wives.....what would we do without them!

I was also Charlie 787th. 1992. Hope you can beat the cancer.

Assaulter, I went thru in 89-90.... A bit before you, but we chewed some of the same dirt... Up and down baby Baines... As far as the cancer goes... I'm fighting it as well as I can, but terminal isn't very promising.... I've been thru 11 chemo treatments and extensive surgery so far, and I have a couple more chemo treatments to go before we try something else... Let me tell you, chemo isn't for sissies.... I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy... If I had one.
Thanks for your well wishes.

I have been away from my computer so apologies for the delay in getting back to you. First, thank you for your service to our nation. Second, I am very sorry you are going through all of this. It is senseless and tragic that greed can lead to so much pain and destruction. God willing, you will beat this and get back on your feet in no time.
My only advice to you is to start telling all of your friends, and to file a claim with the VA. Go to any VA representative and they can help. You may have to educate them as we are finding that many are unaware of the issues. There is a link to the chemical studies in the story above. You can just print the story and take to your doctor. Unfortunately it wasn't just one chemical - it was a mixture. I don't know if that will make a difference in what treatment they give you or how they proceed but give them the information anyway. Get American Legion or some other vet service organization to help you and attach HR2052 plus whatever else you think is helpful to your claim. If nothing else it gets your date etched in. You may be eligible for disability from the VA while you are in treatment and afterwards. You may also be eligible for treatment and medication.
Let me know if you need any additional information.

This is the synopsis of the story on the CBS website. I am trying to locate the video.

I was there in '88-'89 (D Co. 795th MP Battalion) and was a civilian cop for 15 years. I have suffered forever with respiratory illnesses but never thought anything of it....until about a month ago when one of my coworkers (45 year old female) who suffers from severe rheumatoid arthritis and now has to use a scooter to get around told me that she was there in the mid 80's also but she was Chemical. Wow...good luck. My heart goes out to you and your families. OP, Thanks for the info, I'll pass it along.
