Will Biden award the Medal of Freedom to burn pit activists?
By Leo Shane III
 Friday, Nov 11
 
A prominent senator has joined numerous veterans advocates in their push to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded to key figures in last summer’s fight for expanded benefits for victims of burn pit smoke and other military toxic exposure incidents.

In a letter to the White House on the eve of Veterans Day, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., asked President Joe Biden to consider granting the nation’s top civilian honor to Burn Pits 360 founders Le Roy Torres and Rosie Torres, as well as entertainer Jon Stewart and activist John Feal.

“Because of [their] tireless work, millions of American veterans and service members are eligible for life-saving care for injuries that occurred as a result of their service and sacrifice,” she said. “Because of them, millions of Americans may have more precious time on this Earth with their loved ones.

“They have shown how a small group of like-minded and passionate citizens can overcome any obstacle to transform millions of lives for the better, demonstrating the power of possibility that can only exist in the United States.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The military is starting to look like more of a threat to Americans than our enemies with toxic water, toxic air, lack of good medical care, troops living below the poverty level, etc. :tongue2:
