US Representative Elissa Slotkin – Former CIA Analyst in Iraq
Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mi-08) is on the House Committees for Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, and Armed Services. She is a former CIA Analyst with three tours in Iraq where she met her husband, an Army officer flying Apaches, now retired.
Rep. Slotkin talks about the lessons learned from Agent Orange exposure, PACT Act efforts, and the slow but building efforts in Congress to recognize that veterans had exposure to PFAS-type chemicals, known as “forever chemicals.” She is candid and direct with host Jim Fausone. You will learn about the status of the Vet PFAS Act but also how veterans should lobby Congress to get things done.
John Slemp – Army Armor Officer and Award Winning Photographer

All Gave Some. Some Gave All. Always Remember
John Slemp has produced a beautiful WWII history book for history buffs and young people too! Gorgeous photos and stories and memorabilia all pulled together in a book meant to be on the coffee table. The stories are meaningful and personal. You will come to know the “young men who served” and became the “Bomber Boys”.
Thanks Tami! It was a real honor to photograph these jackets, and veterans too, for this book. It is printed and at the bindery now. Last word was that it would be available in mid-December.
Many Thanks! to Veterans Radio for the opportunity to share the story…
