Burnpits360

Today, Burn Pits 360 has the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We remember the fallen—and veterans who came home only to fight toxic exposures, illness, and unanswered questions. The cost of war did not end overseas. We will continue to stand firewatch. 🇺🇸

🌺 National Poppy Day. From Flanders to Fallujah, we remember. Many veterans we serve came home — but the war came home with them. Toxic exposure. Chronic illness. Invisible wounds. Wear a poppy. Give if you can. 🔗 bit.ly/3vneWg4 Learn more about @AmericanLegion: bit.ly/3RmmtL5

Before the PACT Act. Before the registry. There was Capt. Le Roy Torres. 23 years Army. One deployment to Balad. A toxic legacy that built a movement. We're kicking off 30 days of stories, science, and the work still ahead. Walk with us. 🔗 bit.ly/3vneWg4

Open-air burn pits the size of football fields. Jet fuel. Medical waste. Munitions. Burned 24/7 next to our troops. We run the only INDEPENDENT registry — including names of warriors who died from toxic exposure. Be counted. 🔗 bit.ly/3vneWg4

Burn Pits 360, led by Le Roy Torres, was proud to be represented at Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s VSO Roundtable, ensuring toxic-exposed veterans’ voices remain front and center in the fight for care, accountability, and earned benefits.

On Peace Officers Memorial Day, we honor every officer who gave their life in service — and we recognize the wounds that don't end in a single moment. Our co-founder, Capt. Le Roy Torres, served two callings: as a U.S. Army Reserve officer and as a Texas State Trooper. He came home from Iraq sick from burn pit exposure. When he could no longer perform his duties the way he once had, the agency he served denied him reasonable workplace accommodations. That moment became a movement. Le Roy and Rosie Torres built Burn Pits 360 and helped lead the fight behind the Honoring Our PACT Act — now expanding care for millions of veterans; many serve dual roles in the military reserve components. This week during National Law Enforcement Week, we hold space for the officers we've lost. We will continue to advocate for them, and their families. Veterans, service members, first responders and families: our independent Toxic Exposure Registry is open to you. Every story strengthens the evidence that drives policy, research and accountability. Be counted, you matter. Register today → bit.ly/4dKE0Fs #PoliceWeek #PeaceOfficersMemorialDay #BurnPits360 #PACTAct #ToxicExposure

🚨 The countdown is on! ATS 2026 begins May 15. Join clinicians, innovators, researchers, and advocates shaping the future of respiratory health, pulmonary medicine, and critical care. Honored to welcome Rosie and Le Roy. #ATS2026 #RespiratoryHealth

Honored to share my story and the work of Burn Pits 360 at the 2026 Spring National Troopers Coalition Conference. Veterans who became State Troopers answered the call twice—but toxic exposure follows them home. Thank you Texas DPSOA & NTC. - Le Roy Torres 🇺🇸 #PACTAct #BurnPits

To the mothers behind the mission — today, we honor you. The mothers who raised our warriors. The mothers who became caregivers when their service members came home sick. The mothers who turned unimaginable grief into advocacy after toxic exposure stole someone they loved. The mothers serving in uniform themselves. And the Gold Star mothers whose courage continues to move this fight forward. You are the heartbeat of everything we do for toxic-exposed Veterans and their families. To every military mom — biological, adoptive, chosen, and remembered — thank you. Burn Pits 360 stands with you today, and every day. Happy Mother’s Day. 💛 #MothersDay #BurnPits360 #MilitaryMoms #ToxicExposure #VeteranFamilies #PACTAct

April is the Month of the Military Child. Military children grow up carrying the weight of deployments, constant moves, and for too many, the impact of toxic exposures on their families. At Burn Pits 360, we’re fighting for answers, accountability, and care. #BurnPits360

Historic victories happened because veterans and a community refused to back down. Burn Pits 360 led the fight that drove the National Burn Pit Registry into law and helped lead the passage of the Honoring Our PACT Act. We didn’t just show up—we pushed, organized, and stood firewatch until change was forced. And we’re not done. Now we must protect the promise, expand early detection for cancer and lung disease, and hold systems accountable for delivering care. Stand with us. Keep the fight going.
