She and her husband started aĀ websiteĀ calledĀ Burn Pits 360. They use it to network and gather data on others who’s lives changed dramaitically because of the burn pits.
Their efforts led to the creation of a Department of Defense registry that started last summer.
The number of veterans registering is telling.
“I just got word from the DoD this morning, so far 20,000 veterans have registered,” said Torres.
