BCRW Troops Support: Bob Hope... It's Priceless

Thank you to all who have served and sacrificed for our great Country!

Gulf War Examinations

Some of our soldiers in Iraq have been exposed to radiation and have had subsequent serious medical issues, a virulent form of leukemia and other severe cancers. For some, these illnesses were symptom-free or of seemingly little consequence for some time before a deadly diagnosis was made. For this reason, returning soldiers must request a Gulf War Examination immediately. Though it it a two-day test, it is free and lives may depend on it. Please spread the word to your family and friends. Contact Christine Strawn immediately with any info you may have. She says, "The only way we can help our soldiers is if we band together. They have fought for us and now we must fight for them." Read Oregon Guard: Troops possibly exposed to toxic chemical in Iraq, published February 11, 2009 by the Corvallis Gazette-Times.

Please visit www.iraqradiation.com, a site dedicated to the soldiers and their families who have battled these exposure related diseases and want others to understand the severity so that no soldier goes without early testing.

Remembering Andrew Rounds (22) of Lebanon, Oregon. Rest in peace young warrior.
