Our 2022 initiative is to bring awareness
to the life threatening effects that our military service member's are battling
due to exposures to toxins from
"Burn Pit Exposure"
when they return home from their
service to our country.
We are proud to announce the release of our war memorial book

Jacob Brown's Story
Jacob enlisted in the Army in 2006, he was deployed to Iraq from 2007-2008, and honorably discharged by December 2010.
During deployment Jacob was in a guard tower where their burn pit was no more than 40 feet away from FOB Hammer.
Since his return he suffers from ailments including double vision,
gait impairment, speech dysarthria, breathing problems, enlarged liver, migraines, and shrinking of the cerebellum.
Jacob's story is just one of hundreds of thousands of veterans
suffering from "Burn Pit Exposure".
We had the pleasure of hosting Jacob & his family this summer
so they could attend our event on July 9,2022
and share their story.
We will continue to advocate for Jacob & all our veterans
to get the care they need and deserve.
Wesley Black
We had the honor of meeting Staff Sergeant Wesley Black
in September 2021. He was the first Iraq/Afghanistan veteran
to fly with North Country Honor Flight, Plattsburgh,NY.
Wesley passed away in November 2021 after battling cancer
and the Federal government. Wesley served in both Iraq and Afghanistan being exposed to open air Burn Pits
which caused his illness.
Americans Supporting Armed Services will continue
to advocate for his fight to bring awareness to the
veterans and their hardships post war due to BPE.
''The View from Inside'' is a pictorial journey of the detailed work that our military performed and a documented effort to instill freedom and diplomacy in a war-raged country during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The images displayed in this book are a history making collection of photos never compiled before.
This vast collection comes to us through the eyes and camera lenses of those who served.
