For Those Who Support the Troops

[Guest guest]

SINCE YOU OFFERED TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS…..

 

Perhaps you can start by sending some money to the

widow and three small children, ages 2,3, and 4 years

old, of this army paramedic, Clay Garton, who died

the day after Christmas of Depleted Uranium Poisoning.

 

He was a helicopter paramedic in Iraq for a year and

a half, coming home to Fort Braggs in May, 2004. He

was seemingly healthy at the time but at the end of

September had a massive muscle spasm in his back and

ran a high fever. By the time he died three months

later, he had lost 30 pounds and was a shadow of the

man his family had known.

BACKGROUND:

The US military has used over 1,000 Tons of solid

uranium in Iraq since Operation Iraqi Freedom started

almost 2 years ago. This dangerous radioactive

material becomes pulverized dust which is spread

everywhere and breathed by the troops and the

civilians in Iraq. Over 27,000 US troops are already

disabled.

This radioactive material, this dust, is getting into

the lungs and clothes of the troops. They are bringing

the dust home to their families.

 

The government is still taking the stand that the

depleted uranium is not a health risk despite its own

studies and its own regulations.

Mr. Garton had to return to the VA hospital 7 times

before he was given medical attention because the

government didn’t acknowledge that he was sick.

Responsible people take action to protect human life,

especially when dealing with radioactive materials

which are dangerous for millions of years. Your

little bow will be no comfort to those who will die

for no good reason but corporate greed, empire

building, and total disregard for human life.

The troops have nothing to say about the lack of

protective gear. Your words will not protect them from

depleted uranium. Would you send your own children off

into depleted uranium with the words, “Honey, I

support you!”

 

Raising three children without a provider will not be

easy, so please dig deep into your support you have

so proudly pledged on the back of your car and send it

to this family.
