The Deadly Dose

Ep 49 - We Didn't Start the Fire


Listen Later

If there is an episode we would hope you listened to, it's this one. Veteran's Day just passed and how often do we say, "Thank you for your service!"

After today's episode, I hope we all think about that phrase in a different light and start or continue to do our part to advocate for our Veterans. So, today we're talking about burn pits. You probably haven't heard of burn pits and that's not on accident.  Megan raises awareness about the horrors of burn pits and the silence that has surrounded burn pits for almost 20 years.
