Forum: Depleted uranium continues to kill

Ten years ago, on Jan. 19, 2005, my son left for boot camp at Fort Sill, Okla. Eight months later, he was deployed on his first tour to Iraq.

He served two tours. Every night that he was there, I had to take medication in order to sleep. If I didn’t, I would lie awake worried and imagining that Aaron would be shot, hit by an IED, or be involved in a Humvee accident.

It never crossed my mind that he was slowly being poisoned to death by his own country, but that’s what was happening. Daily exposure to depleted uranium (DU) caused a rare cancer that eventually killed him in 2011.

Since his death, I have learned of thousands of deaths caused by DU, both to our own servicemen and women and countless Iraqi citizens. It also causes horrific birth defects. Our government has known of the dangers of DU since before the first Gulf War, but just as with Agent Orange, has continued its use. We know how well that worked.

The U.S. also refuses to sign the United Nations treaty that requires banning DU, along with an investigation of the damage it has done. In Indiana, the Jefferson Proving Ground is covered with 160,000 pounds of DU, leaving local citizens at risk. The Army does not want to clean up this site because it is too dangerous. The VA even admitted that DU caused my son’s death.

I have written many letters to our elected officials, hoping that someone would introduce a bill to care for our veterans. I have written many letters to newspapers hoping to spread the word of what our veterans were exposed to. How many more must die?

My son should have been 30 on Feb. 9. Happy Birthday, Aaron. Love, Mom
