Veterans Medical Testing Assistance I have talked at representatives from the 44th, 38th and 21st legislative districts, but they need to hear from their constituents about a bill to help Veterans get testing to determine their exposure to 'depleted' Uranium and other hazardous materials we use in our wars. It is my understanding that Louisiana recently passed a bill. With the not-so recent return of our own local National Guard and many of your constituents from Iraq, I think we should do something to help in any way that we can in this state.

  • Veterans Medical Testing Assistance I have talked at representatives from the 44th, 38th and 21st legislative districts, but they need to hear from their constituents about a bill to help Veterans get testing to determine their exposure to 'depleted' Uranium and other hazardous materials we use in our wars. It is my understanding that Louisiana recently passed a bill. With the not-so recent return of our own local National Guard and many of your constituents from Iraq, I think we should do something to help in any way that we can in this state. I understand the state can be reimbursed by the Department of Defense for this funding, but the DOD will not directly provide the testing themselves. If you saw a LIFE Magazine article titled "Tiny victims of Desert Storm", you can see why this is important beyond the ranks of our veterans. You can find this article online at * You can find more about the Louisiana bill at the following links: * * A Press Release about the Louisiana bill: * I hope we can do something about this in the legislature this coming session. This country has waited too long to acknowledge things like this in the past. Somebody I talked with on the Whitehouse Hotline a couple of years ago said “Veterans HAVE gotten the shaft lately”. I think it is time we changed that. THANK YOU for any help you can provide.
