Veterans, if you were exposed to toxic substances during your service, you may be eligible for extra benefits under the PACT Act. Apply by August 9 for retroactive benefits. Go to https://VA.gov/pact to learn more.

"In August 2022, US President Joe Biden signed an act expanding benefits & healthcare to US veterans exposed to toxins in #BurnPits. But what about #Iraq|i exposure to burn pits? #KaliRubaii's research addresses their longterm diffuse exposure at all stages of their life, with effects that are varied & widespread. Rubaii has worked closely with Iraqi families since 2009 .. "
