This is absolutely real for veterans. I served 23 years, 4 tours in Iraq. Diagnosed prostate cancer at 40. Early detection is critical. Guys, get your PSA tested. I was fortunate that the surgery got all the cancer. Over 15 years cancer free. Don’t take chances with your health.

Hunter 7 was my Dad, Robert Bowman (1968-2013 RIP ❤️❤️) Black Rifle and the Hunter Seven foundation are absolute bad asses for what they are doing and contributing to the veteran community. Many props to them and their people 🙏🏻

Kellie, your dad was my ROTC instructor at Texas Tech and he had a great impact on my life. God bless you and your family.

Thank you for sharing these stories BRCC, I'm a gulf War and OIF veteran last may 2023 I trip, fell and broke a few ribs, went to VA to get checked out! Found lesions and a tumor after extensive testing I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma! Keep up the great work BRCC I'll be checking out hunter 7 foundation I am a cancer survivor!

Man this broke me. I'm so happy they setup a foundation. Rest in peace fallen brothers.

Cancer/TBI/Toxicity are things that need to be talked about openly with active duty leadership. Even for those of us who ended up with "non service related" issues, it would save more lives than double of 11,00 pushups. And now we're seeing civilian kids with exposure or head trauma being treated with an anti psychotic med when they dont have a mental disorder. They have an undiagnosed(misdiagnosed) injury or cancer. 5 kids in my small town ended thier own life in a similar way that 14 different people i served with did....all were either being given bad medication, were told they didn't need blood tests, or that they just needed more antibiotics because of an overactive thyroid. Add alcohol and a bad few years and poof.......dirt nap. Thank you all for sacrificing so much to save so few. Even one life is worth it❤

It is criminal how badly those willing to die for their country are neglected after their service.

04' & 05' in Balad, diagnosed in June of last year with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the throat. Currently tumor free and in remission, thanks be to God. Early detection is key! Count me in on whatever you need.

Thank you for getting this out. I am a 25 year army vet with several deployments to Iraq. It is comforting to know that there are organizations that really do have our best interests at heart. Thank you for all that you do.

😢 I’m a GWOT veteran and this makes me cry to see my brothers and sisters go through this so from me thank you

Did 13 deployments in the Navy. I’m 35 and now fighting my second cancer.

My dad died from cancer caused by Agent Orange, it took a toll on his body causing him to have cataracts in his eyes in his 30s, nerve damage, diabetes, and my brothers all have anemia while I have a nurological disorder. The VA basically denied or try to deny Agent Orange exposure was the cause and yet the rest of the world says othetwise. All these companies and organizations that get protections need to lose all that and the victims and their families should get the best care.

My brother was convoy escort, stationed in Iraq from 09-10. He was at the base with the largest burn pit, he would tell me he was breathing in that crap. In 2017, he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma Satge III. He lost his battle with the disease two years later. Thank you for this video.

I was Active Duty Army during the Afghanistan Campaign. I didn't deploy, however my heart goes out to the families who lost a loved one. They risked their lives against the odds made it home. Then suffered a silent aftermath. God Bless all of them.

Man, I remeber being able to see the burn pit from the hooches. Scary...I never knew how many vets are getting diagnosed with cancer. Thanks for doing this story and of course all of the hard work from everyone involved in this program.

My great uncle was diagnosed with a service related blood cancer. He’s a Korea War veteran. Early detection is so important. Thankfully his was caught early. It’s a chronic cancer but getting it under control early was key to him still being here with us. ❤

I just wanted to thank you for your service and your sacrifice God bless you all 🙏

Thank you for making and posting this video. Veterans need to be told these truths on platforms they frequent. Thank you HunterSeven for not being a predatory non-profit. You give me hope.

Its important to us, these are our brothers and sisters, you know? You can always make more money, but you cannot save a life once its gone. Its why we do what we do

Bravo for spreading the word and supporting the GWOT vets. Thank you all

Thank you ALL. NSDQ.

I have filed many complaints with the VA about my symptoms. Cant see a Dr, months between appt, and nothing done to investigate. System is broken. Glad to see someone is still fighting for us, its going to get worse as we get older

I was stationed at Edgewood Arsenal after 9/11 i was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2020 at just 40yo. I was rated 100 percent just a few days ago after 3 years of fighting for it, they called it TERA Toxic Exposure Related Activity. I lost my job at the VA after 8 years working there and had to draw out all my retirement so i could feed my son and I even had to get on food stamps but i never stopped fighting for what I felt i was owed. Keep up the fight!

@@HunterSevenFoundation I was in Kandahar for a 3 month period in 2011. I've been seeing lots of news about service members getting cancer because of the burn pits and kind of ignoring it because I could be one. but that broke my heart so much I plan on seeing my doctor very soon to get screened and make it a yearly todo. my girlfriend and I plan on having kids and we both work in the medical field. she said you better not get me pregnant then die on me lol. she never served but has a military sense of humor.

Prayers and many thanks!!!!!!

There is many other diagnoses that are also related to the toxic exposures we suffered, and those are even less recognized than those that get cancer. Everything from nerve damage to mitochondrial issues and autoimmune disease. Those like myself were denied proper care and struggle for every bit of care because of the disbelief that it is not just in our heads exspcialy if female. The education should start as troops enter service to report everything you are exposed to and all symptoms so at least there is a record. Even the VA fails more of us than anyone acknowledges and it is due to lack of training from my perspective as I was a vA physicians assistant and later a patient. I can even report abuse by providers who would not listen to what I was telling them until I collapsed because of their insisting there couldn't be anything wrong. Once I finally went to the civilian side and got testing I demanded because of my knowledge than it could be confirmed something was very wrong. Please recognize there is so much more to be done and more who are in serious need besides those with cancer as those veterans also deserve the same concern and actions.

Roger that. I am currently going through that process now... I/they have no idea what is going on?? I am in constant pain , and now they Found an issue with my neurological system. I have developed tremors WTF....

I have not been diagnosed with cancer or anything, but was exposed like most of us that have served, to burn pits and poop ponds and I have asked the Va about this stuff and they blow it off like it’s no big deal. I stoped using the Va for any medical Treatment and I choose to pay out of pocket for any civilian medical appointments that I do go to. I absolutely have no trust in the Va seeing the games and how they constantly trick people out of rights, and the different games and lack of help they offered friends of mine who have ended their own lives. But educating vets is very important to me. I have learned a lot about the disability process and try to talk to any vet I come across to make sure they know how to get the disability rating they deserve and the benefits that go with that rating. It’s always surprising to me how little vets know or how little self education they take on. Thank you for what you all do and have done.

I watched this eat my dad from the inside. For me this hits home. 😢

Thanks for all you do hunter 7

Thank you for sharing this story. It's frustrating to see billions of dollars being to Ukraine when it should have been funding the VA and to help the veterans in need. The veterans in Congress should be more vocal to make a difference.

Early detection of Cancer is not only a major problem for veterans but also with civilians! I served but want nothing to do with the VA. All my doctors just laugh at me when I ask them if I could get bloodwork done to make sure I’m cancer free. I can’t find a doctor that will help me.

My father was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, I developed JRA at 6, dreamed to serve with my brother who was 13 months older than me. I was denied the ability, but he served, got cancer that was discovered in March/April of 2019 and was gone January 20. It was stage 4 when discovered.

we had dutch veterens from the bosnia conflict during the 90's developing leukaemia from depleted uranium it's not onely the burn pits now these amunitions are send to ukraine

RESPECT 🙏 AND GOD BLESS 🇺🇲🇺🇲💯👍

This is f-ing 🔥🔥🔥

I was at a large memorial service last month for a relatively young man who suddenly and unexpectedly died of a heart attack while hiking. (not cancer) This issue of high rates of cancers among our organization was addressed at the gathering and it is absolutely a huge concern among us all. The guy talking to us who is currently battling cancer emphasized that if we experience an odd change in health or new pain to not ignore it. Go in and get checked out.

Thank you

I was diagnosed at age 49 with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. I have a non-hereditary BRCA 2 genetic mutation. USMC veteran 91-95. I know of 3 other Marines I served with that have also had cancer. This is not just connected to post 9/11 vets.

Being a civilian I never knew what our Brave Men and women went through and how hard and scary it must have been. And then coming back to just to be treated like Trash and givin the worst treatment or medicine makes me sick!!!. I had a Very close Friend who was 23 who Served put a bullet in his Head Because He wasn’t getting the care he needed so Thank you all. Who served and thank you all for the ones who are doing there best to give the right treatment and care to our Troops and veterans. 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

God bless you.

I was lucky in terms of exposure to hazardous chemicals. We had no burn pits near our FOB in Ghanzi, Afghanistan.

Yup, stage 4 non hodgkin's lymphoma, got healed through Jesus and the help of Cedar sinai cancer center, thank God that my wife was a bulldog through it all and she had great insurance as was able to get me the help i needed

It breaks my heart

My father is a Vietnam Marine Corps Veteran he has been exposed multiple times to agent orange. as well as the chemicals from burning the wooden ammunition boxes. Plus he was in stationed at Camp Lejeune before going to Vietnam and while DD’ing out. Yes he’s also very exposed to the waters of Camp Lejeune. He’s had surgery for skin cancer a few times. But now he’s been diagnosed with Squamous cell Carcinoma in one of his lungs. I am trying my hardest to file a claim for disability, but I can’t font the bridge to connect it to the Agent Orange or the Camp Lejeune water. If there is anybody out there who might have some information that can link anything to his cancer I would appreciate it greatly if you could share it with me. So I can get my father to 100% disability. Thank you.

That girl is cool yo! #SaveLives #EducateForward

Ft McClellan al. Prostate cancer at 57.

Nice I got 0% from VA for my troubles with burn pits

Ole corpsman here, I am scared 🤫

That just sucks. Government does not think about what happens to the veterans after they come home. They don't think about the damage service overseas does to veterans. Sometimes, I think they just don't care.

🔥🔥🔥🤙🏼

Do not let your urologist remove your prostate until you find one that does the radiation seed implants!! My father in law's Dr wanted to remove his, he got a 2nd opinion with the seeds. He's been cancer free since 2003, prostate intact.

Nice.

Wholesome, great fucking work!

❤️👍🏻🇺🇸🥃

Go HunterSeven Foudation

Yeah, those burn pits sucked. We had one on the south end of the FOB and I would be sitting up in the tower and sometimes it would burn black like son of a bitch God knows what they were throwing in there . Then to make more fun we were downwind from a local cemetery.

I have to disseminate this link to some of our more stubborn-to-go-to-sickcall brothers and sisters. And personally, I should go get my blood checked - PSA levels all that- having been overseas in civilian capacities.

OIF 05-06, OEF 07-09, OIF 10-11. Both countries were always on fire. If you know, you know. That smell will always stay with me. God Speed yall. 🥸
