Note from MOAA: This article was originally published at DAV.org in support of Ending the Wait for Toxic-Exposed Veterans, a joint DAV/MOAA report offering a blueprint for reforming toxic exposure-related benefits. Learn more about the report at this link.

Six years ago, retired Army Lt. Col. Gary Sauer was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. He had no family history of cancer, and testing confirmed he wasn’t genetically predisposed.

But over his 22-year military career, Sauer — who was also diagnosed with a rare kidney disease — served at numerous installations known to have the presence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

These synthetic “forever chemicals” are found in everything from clothing to cookware. With enough exposure, PFAS have been shown to cause cancer, thyroid disease, reproductive problems and other health issues.

“It’s a disease that can just be monitored and treated,” Sauer said of his cancer diagnosis. “But you know, at the end of the day, it may result in losing my life over it.”

Error Occurred While Processing Request

Could not find the included template template_sponsors_basement.cfm.

Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc.
Using relative paths (for example, template="index.cfm" or template="../index.cfm") does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.
