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.

The Jacob Brown 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 has only been deemed a 70% disability rating by the VA, although he has not been able to care for himself or

his family for over 4 years.

Jacob's story is just one of hundreds of thousand of veterans suffering from "Burn Pit Exposure".

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.
