Thanks for sharing this i was stationed at ft mac in 1992 i suffer with diabetes ischemic heart disease four stents now neuropathy in hand and feet and depression dry mouth all from my service in the army.
Why not take care of the military people that ate, drank, laid in it.. It went through the Fort before going to Anniston. Solder's went through a lot because of it. Go after of them for the solider sake.
Grew up 20 minutes out of Sauget. My mothers family lived in the same area most of their life. My mother died of a rare cancer that is predominately found in the middle east, my aunt had a brain tumor, and my grandmother had cancer twice(born in 1932 so right after they started producing and dumping in the Sauget/Cahokia area). Monsanto lives on yet my mother does not.
I grew up in white street in Cahokia my backyard was the creek they were dumping in. Tho I was born in 97 and I think the clean up was in 99 I still wonder about what this could’ve done to my body. It’s scary.
Thank you for this report. What about Fort McClellan? My Dad was stationed there. I went through BT summer of 1980. I developed malignant cancer toward the end of AIT. I have other serious medical issues. It's now 2024. Why are the stuffed shirts in DC, Monsanto, EPA, OSHA & others ignoring the base?
when testing was going on you could only be tested for free if you lived in the city limits.. if not it would cost $300 for the test and at that time I had $0 in the bank. I worked setting up mobile homes within blocks of the plant and dug in the dirt.
Oh crap. I moved to Anniston after college to join my girlfriend who was in the Chemical Corp (chemical/biological/radiological). I wondered if it was dangerous to be on base but I wasn’t there that often. I did worry about her, though. I didn’t even know about Monsanto’s dumping then. It was 1983 and our first place was on Noble because we couldn’t afford better until I got a job. She was still in chem school so we didn’t have much. We lived not too far from these neighborhoods. Good grief. I had already been poisoned by PBB in Michigan. But these poor people. I can’t believe I’m just finding out about this now.
I was stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama in 1977 for my WAC(Women's Army Corps) basic training. I entered the U.S. Army as a healthy 18 year old young lady. I had stage 2 breast cancer, and the VA hospital performed a bilateral mastectomy (surgical removal of both breasts) to save my life. I was denied my VA compensation as the outcome stated, "non-service connected"!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
I maintain some of the remaining buildings on Fort McClellan. Mostly around the old polygraph building and that area. We used to have the old Officers club, ( Remington Hall ) and of course Silver Chapel, and Buckner point apartments. Well Buckner point apartments replaced the systems that we worked. Remington Hall has been vacant now for around 10 years, and Silver Chapel has what I think is a financial problem because they have so few members now. I grew up in Anniston, right where 431 and 21 connect.( or split, depending on your direction.) Right up from the now closed V.F.W.
@@aciewha7702 I realize your comment is more than a year old. How long have you lived in Lenlock ? Just a guess because you said " across the road " from Ft McClellan.
Fed EPA shut down the base weeks after i lived on ft mcClellan my whole enlistment talk about WTF😭😭 the fed EPA labelled base a " superfund" aka they said it was the most toxic land in united states aka Chernobyl... The civilians off base were paid 700 mill by DOD contractor monsanto Population on 4000
Anniston Alabama is the small town off base i lived in both while in boot camp and military police training .. Imagine seeing images of where i slept in tents jogged marched over baby banes big banes mountains on base and its labelled a war chemical toxic dump😳 2weeks after i left for another assignment I was in top shape running in 20 mi marathons representing military when i got home i started having horrible migraines needed to carry syringes on me Horrible fatigue.. Joint pain like the tin man wizard of oz Sleep apnea Depression mood swings Disc issues lumbar area Neuropathy in legs I have to go to hospital once a year for my feet they swell up 3 times normal cant wear shoes socks.. The hospital doctors think i been in A 3rd world country prison 😆 they call fed agency ask them what it is The worst is short term memory.. It ruined me on police dept i was forced to take a medical retirement dig this AGE 36 .. I hid all my symptoms and issues for years until it was to bad.. I have 10 shoe boxes full of medicine rx bottles everything from topomax adderal Ritalin vicodin tri cyclic anti depressants zanax valium effexor Prozac anti inflammatories u name it i got it... This is my life... I was a college kid graduated joined military went to a base that was chemically toxic PCB's mustard gas agent orange agent blue and i went from a good lookin sharp young man to a train wreck.. I dont even have energy to wake up make coffee ea day.. Its pathetic.. I call VA and they deny it exists... Call congressman they are unreacheable " US ARMY BE ALL YOU CAN BE"
Well Done to people like Steve who voiced up to question the likes of Monsanto Solutia and the EPA For wrecking peoples lives they may in many many years begin to clean up this mess but no compensation is ever enough

I was there in 1993 take care of us!

Wow I didn’t know it reached all the way up to ft McClellan
I literally live across the road from ft McClellan now and feeling dumbfounded
The love of money is the root of all evil. That company should fined and criminal charges heavily.

thank you for sharing this, still can't find the full episode previous of this one but this is helpful for my research paper
I'm pretty sure this is the full episode MissMaddy. What's your research paper about?
Yes, there is one from the 1990's
And years later Anniston is the most dangerous place in Alabama and most of the residents act like nothing is wrong.
Don't forget about the troops at the army base
Anybody stationed at that base needs to see and hear this.
They want to forget us soldiers that they polluted without our knowledge. They refuse benefits to so many of us.
Thank you very much for sharing this.

Anniston's 2d law suit they've won...and we get ignored...
Ask that CEO if he wants to have some fish to eat from that river!

@TheDonna 1959 , I work on heat and air for quite a few WACs. Did you know Betty Benson ?
@@aciewha7702 they did chemical/biological/radiological warfare there. They have their own waste issues.
why did they buy properties up and fence them off ???
Because it was additional evidence against the damn bastards at Monsanto!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Is there anyway to receive compensation as a local citizen that was under age when the settlements were being discussed?
what about OSHA, do they have and files on this ???
