Robin,

This is heartbreaking to read and yet we know what many of our soldiers are up against from being exposed to this toxic chemical. Thank you for bringing these soldiers including your sister together to share their stories. We have been trying to create public awareness since early 2005 with what happen to my Dustin also. I do see with our support growing that it is starting to be shared publically,Thanks to the New York Sun and the Daytona Beach News Journal for helping us to get more information out and educate others about Depleted Uranium. Your words take me back to six months of hell at Walter Reed, how I remember what pain and fright Dustin experienced before losing the battle 9/24/04 Looking back I believe the doctors knew exactly what they are dealing with as they try to treat these untimely and odd illnesses that should not be happening to our otherwise healthy fit soldiers. As we approach 3 yrs in September since losing Dustin, it seems like yesterday. Our hope is for no one to ever have to walk in his or our shoes one minute and experience our pain and loss. I applaud you for your work. If anyone would like to read about my son they can seach by his name "Dustin Brim" on the internet and read what happen to him as well. Also on Mondays at 2:00 Lonnie Story (whom is writing Dustin's story) is hosting a talk radio show "Lessons Learned, applying yesterday's history to today's events" We can be heard on 91.5 FM or on the internet at WAPN,Net I would like to encourage all whom can to listen and call for support, I believe as we continue to support and persevere the time will come soon that people will know what is happening and together make a difference for our soldiers.

On behalif of my only chlid "Spc Dustin Brim" and others whose voices need to be heard,

Lori Brim
