Johnston, RI – Some local veterans have battled serious health issues – such as cancer or respiratory conditions – for years. Even though they strongly believed their illness was service-connected, it wasn’t covered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) until recently, thanks to the landmark Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act (P.L. 117-168).
