More than two years after his death, President Joe Biden signed a law named for Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson to ensure that the Veterans Administration provides adequate health care to veterans suffering from burn pit-related ailments.
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Ten years after Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson returned to Ohio from military service in Iraq, he fought a losing battle with lung cancer triggered by toxic fumes from a burn pit in Baghdad where the military incinerated waste. More than two years after his death, President Joe Biden signed a law named for the Pickerington veteran to ensure that the Veterans Administration provides adequate health care to veterans suffering from burn pit-related ailments.
“These conditions have already taken such a toll on so many veterans and their families,” continued Biden, who expressed belief that the brain cancer that killed his son, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, was caused by burn pit exposure during his military service. “Ours is just one story,” she continued. “So many military families have had to fight this terrible emotional battle. So many veterans are still battling burn pit illnesses today. Too many have succumbed to those illnesses, as well.”
“Providing health care and benefits for veterans who suffer from toxic exposure is a cost of going to war,” said Brown. “If you were exposed to toxins while serving our country, you deserve the benefits you earned, period. No exceptions.”
