BurnPits360

On October 17, more than 300 guests came together at the JW Marriott San Antonio for the 2026 Gala of Valor, where heritage met heroism. It was a night for honoring the veterans, families, and champions who refuse to let toxic exposure be forgotten. Thank you to our co-emcees, Chaunté N. Hall, Ph.D. and Jimmy Anderson, to our special guest John Feal, and to every honoree who shared the evening with us. Watch the highlight reel and relive the night: bit.ly/4yV7jMX To everyone who bought a seat or gave one to a veteran: thank you. You made this night possible, and you’re helping make sure every veteran is counted. The work doesn’t stop here. #GalaOfValor #BurnPits360 #ToxicExposure #Veterans #SanAntonio

Their lungs can't wait. Too many veterans exposed to burn pits are told their lung tests look normal when they are anything but. Our co-founder, Capt. Le Roy Torres, endured an invasive open lung biopsy searching for answers. The bipartisan AIR CARE for Vets Act (H.R. 9666) would give the VA a better tool: a five-year pilot using FDA-approved 4D functional lung imaging. Instead of a single still picture, it shows how the lungs actually move and function, so it can catch damage standard tests miss, without invasive procedures. The PACT Act expanded who qualifies for care. This bill helps the VA find the disease. Here's what we need from you: ask your U.S. Representative and both U.S. Senators to sign on. This is a federal bill, so Congress is who votes. Take action: bit.ly/3VMfQnE Thank you to Rep. Juan Ciscomani and Rep. Chris Pappas for leading this bipartisan bill. #AIRCAREAct #HR9666 #PACTAct #BurnPits #ToxicExposure #Veterans

We talk a lot about veterans not being forgotten. But here's the truth: we're only remembered when our experiences are backed by data. That's why this matters. Burn Pits 360 is partnering with Vanderbilt University Medical Center on the Southern Environmental Health Study. Researchers are still enrolling — and we want our community represented. If you're ages 30–70 and live in the southern U.S., you may be eligible. It's simple: ✔️ One survey ✔️ Wear a wristband for 7 days ✔️ Optional biological samples ✔️ Compensation provided No appointments. No travel. Everything from home. We can't fix what we don't measure. This is how we go from “I think this caused it” to “We can prove it.” 🔗 bit.ly/4ggeUQ9 📞 855-710-9489 #BurnPits360 #GetLoud #ToxicExposure #VeteransHealth #EnvironmentalHealth
