Smoke & Shadows: The Hidden Cost of Veteran Illness

🎙️ New Podcast Episode | Must-Read Report | Downloadable White Paper

For decades, our veterans were issued cigarettes in rations, sprayed with toxic chemicals, and then told to prove their illnesses were service-connected.

The result? Thousands died from cancer, heart disease, and respiratory failure — while the government and Big Tobacco fought to deny accountability.

The truth is now undeniable:

✔️ Smoking was government-endorsed and deadly

✔️ Agent Orange exposure was toxic and largely unregulated

✔️ Veterans were victims of both — and of the decades-long cover-up that followed

This campaign demands full presumptive benefits for every sick veteran, no matter which exposure caused their illness.
