Over 27,000 patriots have signed our petition and stand with Fort Ord!!
Now, we need your ASAP action to stop the DoD's censorship of Veterans' concerns about their herbicide exposures, including to Agent Orange! DoD has wrongly been allowed to deny their own potentially deadly herbicide contamination without oversight or transparency. Even worse, VA agreed to allow DoD's secretive Armed Forces Pest Management Board the authority over the herbicide locations list that will be used to determine Veterans benefits.
We have identified a growing number of seriously ill or deceased former service members, dependents, and staff who served, lived, and worked around Fort Ord, former U.S. Army base, which was declared an EPA Superfund site in 1990. Ord was added to the National Priorities List citing over 45 contaminants of concern found in the soil and groundwater, including aquifers that historically served as the drinking water source. Now, our Medical Patriot Project experts have found very substantial and compelling evidence that the most toxic components of Agent Orange, including the now banned 2,4,5-T, were used in massive quantities in order to control poison oak over thousands of acres of Fort Ord where troops extensively trained. Detailed evidence of the contamination at Fort Ord and expert resources are available at FortOrdContamination.org
Were you impacted by the contamination at Fort Ord? Lawmakers need to hear from you! Please complete a brief questionnaire and stay tuned for more details on Fort Ord related action.
Our friend, Julie Peters Akey, started a Facebook group for those impacted by the contamination at Fort Ord. There are over 400 members in the private group. To date, we’ve identified nearly 400 individuals with cancer and other severe illnesses among Veterans, families, and civilians who lived or worked in that area. If you were impacted, we would love to welcome you into the group discussion.
