Our last battle is for the future generations of
innocents. We will go to our graves without honor if we abandon the future
generations.
If we lose this battle for P.L. 114-315, the child
victims die without recognition of their veteran ancestors' service causations.... How
many generations must suffer?
The American citizens and signers of this formal petition
for just reconsideration do hereby demand Secretary of the Department of
Veterans Affairs Dennis McDonough personally read the entirety of The
Toxic Exposure Research Act (TERA), Public Law 114-315, Sections 631
through 634. Upon reading this law, we further demand the VA Secretary read and
understand the DVA-contracted report issued by NASEM (IOM) dated 2018, Gulf
War and Health, Volume 11: Generational Health Effects of Serving in the Gulf
War, specifically the sections within the report that stipulate the
research mandated by TERA, Public Law 114-315, is both feasible and necessary.
Most importantly, we demand the VA Secretary follow the specific, written
intent of TERA, Public Law 114-315, and based upon NASEM’s declaration of
feasibility, certify to both Veterans Affairs committees of Congress his
understanding of the research feasibility, and certify it is his
honorable intent to proceed with the specified research and implement the
remaining provisions of that noble law, as specified and intended for the
wellbeing of and for the American people.
Please circulate this petition. Ask your fellow Americans
(friends, family, neighbors, fellow veterans and non-veterans alike) to sign
it. For every 100 signatures submitted, you will receive an Agent Orange face
mask.
