National Guard veteran, Amie Muller on right

In breaking news, National Guard veteran, Amie Muller who believed deployments to Iraq caused her cancer, and fought to expose the ‘Burn Pit’ hazards has died at age 36.

Muller worked and lived next to burn pits that billowed toxic smoke night and day at an air base in northern Iraq. After returning to Minnesota, she began experiencing health problems usually not seen in a woman in her 30s.

ArmyWtfMoments reported:

    Muller died a week ago, nine months after being diagnosed with Stage III pancreatic cancer.

    On Friday, more than 800 of her friends and family gathered at a memorial service in Woodbury to remember the life of the 36-year-old mother of three. A pastor noted her loss was both painful and seemingly incomprehensible.

Not sure what this "The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America's Soldiers" by former soldier Joseph HIckman is all about. We are aware of a former soldier who served in Iraq coming down with cancer.

There is some info on the internet but some of it looked like fringe stuff.

Muller died a week ago, nine months after being diagnosed with Stage III pancreatic cancer. On Feb 24, more than 800 of her friends and family gathered at a memorial service in Woodbury to remember the life of the 36-year-old mother of three. A pastor noted her loss was both painful and seemingly incomprehensible.

"I wish there was a simple way to explain what has happened to Amie. Why Amie is gone," said Pastor Lisa Renlund. "Life truly isn't that simple. It can get messy. It can feel complicated. It can seem unfair."
