VetStory: How toxic exposures endanger veterans from all eras

Cover Image

Think only combat vets have experienced "toxic exposure"? Think again. It's way more than just Agent Orange and burn pits.

We recently learned that veterans from all eras may have been exposed to toxic chemicals...and not even known it. 

We talked about it with Dr. Tom Berger, executive director and Maureen Elias, assistant director of the Veteran's Health Council of the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Our guests:

Maureen Elias, Army Veteran and assistant director, Veterans Health Council, Vietnam Veterans of America
