Burn pits
Movie explores effects of
smoke and fumes on veterans
American veterans of Iraq and
Afghanistan are not safe from the
effects of war even after they
return fromthe battlefield.
Serious illnesses are being
reported by returning American
soldiers and doctors have begun
to trace the cause to past exposure
to open-air burn pits on American
military bases.
Now, a 55-minute documentary
- Delay, Deny, Hope You Die -
explores the facts about burn pits
and the fumes and smoke to
which military veterans were
exposed. It will be shown in area
Phoenix Theaters at no cost in an
effort to make the public aware of
the danger soldiers face from the
aftereffects of these pits, a rarely
discussed military standard oper-
ating procedure.
The viewing of this documen-
tary is free of charge through the
contributions of Phoenix Theatres
and Legal Help for Veterans,
PLLC. Tickets are only available
at theaters on a first-come, first-
servedbasis at each showing.
Since the U.S. went to war in
Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in
2003, about 2.5millionmembers of
the Army, Navy, Marines, Air
Force, Coast Guard and related
Reserve andNational Guardunits
have been deployed in the
Afghanistan and Iraq wars,
according to Department of
Defense (DOD) data.
DOD reports about 99 percent
of troops were exposed to burn pit
smoke and fumes. However, only a
little more than 100,000 veterans
have registered with the Veterans
Administration because of burn
pit fume exposure. The dangers
of the smoke were not discussed
and links to medical problems are
not known.
“Michigan is home to 600,000
veterans who need to hear this
story of concern to their com-
rades,” said Brigadier General
Carol Ann Fausone (ret). “This
emotional documentary tells an
important story that everyone
needs to see”.
Cory Jacobson of Phoenix
Theatres said, “We are proud to
bring this informative documen-
tary to our local veterans and
their families.”
The documentary will be
shown at 2 and 7 p.m. Nov. 6 at the
Phoenix Theatre at Laurel Park,
17310 North Laurel Park Drive in
Livonia; Nov. 7 at the Phoenix
State Wayne Theater, 35310

Safety lesson
The Firefighting and EMT students at the William D. Ford
Career-Technical Center made a special visit to the
Sunshine and Rainbows preschool last week. With fire-
fighting gear in tow, they taught the 3 and 4-year-old stu-
dents how to stop, drop and roll; how to stay low and
crawl away from a fire and what a firefighter will look like
if he or she has to come into their home to rescue them.
Students in the Firefighter and EMT courses are high
school juniors and seniors interested in firefighting and
related careers. The Sunshine and Rainbows Preschool
is a component of the Early Childhood/Teacher
Education class at the William D. Ford Career Technical
Center. The three-day a week preschool is a training site
for high school juniors and seniors interested in the child
care and teaching fields.
