@KLloydProject @SECNAV My father who served two tours of duty with MACV-Team 65 died two years ago due to complications brought forward by exposure to agent orange. They then denied survivor benefits to my mother. Their reason was they had not been married long enough. They were married for 54 years.

The Secretary of the Navy @SECNAV told the world Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd’s children would receive combat-related benefits and be guided through the process. Today, those benefits were denied by the CRSC board. Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd was poisoned during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2007 while serving with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines, Fox Company out of Kaneohe Bay—after being ordered into burn pits. That exposure led to the cancer that killed him. The Marine Corps took two years to process his paperwork—and didn’t approve his medical retirement until the day after he died. Now the CRSC board says only he could apply. He’s dead. So our three children—including our son with Type 1 diabetes—have been denied the benefits he paid for with his life. This is exactly why the Major Richard Star Act matters. #StandWithSgtLloyd #Veteran #RichardStarAct #CRSC #BurnPits @USMC @DeptofDefense @DeptVetAffairs @VeteransAffairs @HouseVetAffairs @SenateVA @BurnPits360 @MilitaryTimes @MarineCorpsTimes

@TheVollain @Kagan_M_Dunlap Thank you so much. Right now no one is helping us so I would gladly welcome any help but especially Marines from Kev’s unit. We were at Kbay from around 2007-2015

@Scottnotonemor1 @CrazyLocksmith1 @SECNAV Thank you for your shared anger and pain. Kev was diagnosed 3/2023. They sat on this for years and then denied complete responsibility for the cancer that killed him. They granted 60% PDRL to a fallen Marine for MIGRAINES. Make it make sense?!

A Marine died of a combat-related injury on American soil. And his children are still being denied what he earned with his life. SecNav told the world Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd’s children would receive the combat-related benefits he earned. That does not align with the reality my children are facing. Sgt. Lloyd was NOT granted 100% medical retirement for the cancer that killed him. They gave him 60% PDRL for migraines—and denied responsibility for his stage IV colorectal cancer caused by burn pits, even though it is 100% service-connected under the PACT Act. He was ordered into the burn pits in 2007 by a superior officer during Operation Iraqi Freedom—2/3 Fox Company, Kaneohe Bay. Because the trash wasn’t sorted, they sent a Lance Corporal into a toxic cesspool. That exposure is what killed him. And they still refuse to take responsibility. The day after he died, they made their announcement. Because they waited, my children were stripped of the combat-related benefits their father earned with his life. And this is exactly why the Major Richard Star Act matters. Because right now—even when a service member is medically retired— the system still finds ways to deny, delay, or offset the very benefits they earned through combat. My son is a Type 1 diabetic. He does not have insulin coverage. I gave up everything—my career, my health, our home— and spent 141 days at his bedside so he wouldn’t die alone. We built a home for him to come back to. A home he promised our boys they would never have to leave. Now we are at risk of losing it. This is not what was promised. This is what failure looks like. Pass the Major Richard Star Act. Fix what was done to Sgt. Lloyd’s family. Help me get this in front of someone who will act. @SecNav @USNavy @USMC @DeptofDefense @DeptVetAffairs @SenTedCruz @JohnCornyn @RepLuttrell @HouseVetAffairs @SVACdems #StandWithSgtLloyd #Veteran #RichardStarAct #BurnPits #PACTAct #Type1Diabetes #MilitaryFamilies #GoldStarFamily #NoVeteranLeftBehind

Well they aren't "benefits" - they are *earned compensation* Use the right language.

If you support the Major Richard Star Act—this is exactly the gap. A combat-injured Marine died waiting on the system. Because his paperwork wasn’t processed in time, his children are now being denied combat-related benefits. This is not a rare case. This is the consequence of delays. @RepGusBilirakis @RepRaulRuizMD @RepBrianMast @RepMarkGreen @RepMikeBost @SenDanSullivan @SenJonTester @SenJerryMoran @SenJohnCornyn

A Marine died of a 100% service-connected cancer caused by toxic burn pit exposure. That Marine is the father of my children. He died on November 9, 2025. I was at his bedside for 141 days. I watched everything that happened to him. And we are still fighting. They gave him 60% PDRL for something unrelated… and denied the cancer that actually killed him. His children are still waiting. No TRICARE. No insulin coverage. Our son is type 1 diabetic. He will die without his medicine. We were told his children would be taken care of. That was said publicly. But months later, nothing has been put in place. I don’t know who to turn to anymore. If you’re reading this, please help me get this in front of someone who can fix it. Call your representatives. Tag people. Share this. Because right now, his children are the ones paying the price. Please share this so it reaches someone who can fix it. #StandWithSgtLloyd #Veteran #NoVeteranLeftBehind #BurnPits #PACTAct #Veterans #MilitaryFamilies #Type1Diabetes #TRICARE #Accountability @DeptVetAffairs @HouseVetAffairs @SecVetAffairs

Not in Houston. At the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, veterans are lied to and manipulated. 40-year-old Marines are denied access to life-saving treatment and pushed toward hospice instead. My children’s father died because of it. @DeptVetAffairs explain this.

Veterans are at the heart of everything we do in VA. Their service, stories, and goals guide the care we provide and shape how we train the next generation of health professionals. Health professions trainees build skills by learning directly from Veterans, honoring their experiences and helping expand access to quality care. In every clinic and classroom, Veterans lead the way. Watch the full video to see this mission in action. department.va.gov/academic-affil…

I was station in Cherry point North Carolina. For months I was having diarrhea, night sweats, fatigue and extreme weight loss . I’m 6’3” and at the last physical before diagnosis I was 150 pounds. For nine months to year I was going to sick call at the base hospital complaining of symptoms and I had several large lymph nodes golf ball size in my neck. It all went undiagnosed. Aff and pfas contaminated the ground water. Not only that they’re always spraying this mysterious fog around base housing. And I had a small garden in my backyard of base housing. They never once said, even though they knew it was toxic and contaminated not to drink the water not to have a garden. They never told us what they were spraying in base housing . And then going to the hospital several times and they’re unable to diagnose the cancer, even though it was quite obvious. Hodgkins lymphoma stage 2B. 10 or 12 rounds of chemo and 30 sessions of radiation therapy. It’s fucked up my body and my mind and I’ll never be the same. My VA claim was denied for 10 years. And even though I’m in currently litigation, suing the makers of the firefighter foam, the VA denied the conditions related to that contamination, and I’ll have to re-file a claim. It pisses me off is that when I got out of the military and filed my claim around 2009 even though they knew the contamination happened way before that and the conditions it causes they deny my claim for my thyroid condition.
