Asbestos, known for its insulation and fire resistance, was commonly used in military equipment during the 1980s. However, its inability to break down in the body has caused serious health issues. It’s been linked to over 40,000 deaths among veterans, and the long-term risks are significant. How were veterans exposed to asbestos? Asbestos was used for insulation, waterproofing, and even in machinery. Its durability led to its use in various military applications, including: - Navy Ships - Shipyards - Aircraft - Land Vehicles - Tanks - Oil reserves During World War II, Navy shipyard workers were exposed to asbestos, handling products that put them at risk of long-term health issues. The dangers continued in many military applications, and even during post-9/11 cleanup efforts, veterans were exposed to asbestos while securing and cleaning the World Trade Center area.

Before we rolled the cameras… Anthony Reanue was advocating for our veterans. When listing agents ask why a veteran needs closing costs or credits, He explained: ‘We don’t get paid much. As a Navy chief, I know the situation firsthand.’ He ensures agents understand our veterans’ needs, and that their offers are just as strong as any other. Communication is key! ?????? #AdvocatingForVeterans #BehindTheScenes #RealEstate #VeteranSupport

As the window for people to claim they were harmed by contaminated water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune closes on Aug. 10, the unique, massive injury case against the U.S. government remains almost wholly unresolved, with the path forward still unclear. More than 385,000 administrative claims have been filed with the U.S. Navy by people claiming they were harmed by the water at the Jacksonville, North Carolina, military facility, which the government has admitted was tainted with toxic chemicals for more than 30 years beginning in the 1950s. The deadline stops people from bringing more claims. While that number of claims may contain duplicate filings, the Camp Lejeune situation is still likely to be one of the largest personal injury cases of all time, coming close to the number of claims over 3M’s military ear plugs, which has included more than 390,000 cases.

Veterans and Asbestos Risks Asbestos, known for its fire-resistant and insulating qualities, was heavily utilized in military settings throughout the 1980s. Unfortunately, its fibers do not degrade in the body, leading to significant health hazards. Studies indicate that asbestos exposure has been connected to over 40,000 veteran deaths and ongoing health complications. ?? Where Were Veterans Exposed to Asbestos? Asbestos was commonly found in: Navy Ships and Shipyards Aircrafts Land Vehicles Tanks and Oil Reserves The U.S. Navy, especially during WWII, was highly exposed, consuming over 633 million pounds of asbestos from 1932 to 1937. By 1939, it was a crucial element in shipbuilding, increasing risks for Navy personnel. The debris from the World Trade Center, which contained over 400 tons of asbestos, also exposed veterans during the 9/11 response.

Commitment is the one big thing I still miss about being in the Navy. Everyone wore the same uniform, more or less. Everyone had the same goal. Everyone cared about and prioritized the mission. No one was selfish. If someone - anyone - had to do something that obstructed the mission, they were held accountable for it. They might have had a legitimate reason, but they were forced to explain it clearly and they were made to understand the consequences of their actions. There are too many people in our society right now who are not being held to that standard, and they are getting away with it. Maybe one of the biggest underlying reasons that veterans are committing suicide is because we are no longer in that world. We're in a world that doesn't have that unity of command and unity of direction. We had a purpose. I had a purpose.

Navy veterans are among the most at risk for asbestos-related illnesses because asbestos was widely used in shipbuilding and onboard components. Thousands of veterans who served on ships may have unknowingly inhaled asbestos fibers. To help veterans stay informed, we’re now launching details on 5 Navy ships each week where asbestos exposure occurred. Visit our website to stay updated on specific ships, exposure risks, and resources for veterans and their families. https://lnkd.in/e8H6jswe #BelluckandFox #NavyShips

Listening to Congress committee hearings that impact the military is so important! These hearings provide a direct window into the decision-making processes that shape policies affecting our armed forces. Today, I listened to the Quality of Life Hearing and took all the notes! Even though we made historic progressive progress to include pet reimbursement for PCS moves, there is still work to do. The topic was QUALITY OF LIFE. The truth is that keeping the family pet dramatically affects the quality of life of service members. What changes regarding your family pet would you like to bring awareness to our senior military leaders? How does your family pet affect your quality of life as a military family?

Ya’ know, I’ve sometimes wondered… with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force… we should have a new military branch called the Fire Force. A huge fleet of federally owned planes of all sizes that fight wildfires or large fires in urban areas. The USA should have a large fleet of planes ready to attack these fires anywhere in the country. Like the Air Force for wildfires. Also a large contingency of men and women to assist as spotters for the air assets and people who can assist existing firefighters on the ground. The USA Fire Force. The wildfires are consuming and destroying so much every year. Time for a bold solution. JMO.

Asbestos was widely used in military applications during the 1980s due to its insulation and fire-resistant properties. Unfortunately, despite its usefulness, asbestos fibers can remain in the body, causing serious long-term health issues. Reports show that exposure to asbestos has led to over 40,000 veteran deaths, making it a significant concern. How were veterans exposed to asbestos? Asbestos was valuable for waterproofing and insulation and was also used in various military machinery. Veterans were exposed through: - Navy Ships - Shipyards - Aircraft - Land Vehicles - Tanks - Oil reserves The risks were especially high for veterans working in shipyards during World War II, where they regularly handled asbestos materials. Additionally, exposure during events like the September 11 cleanup efforts continues to pose risks for veterans involved.
