Jon Stewart speaks at conference on Honoring Our PACT Act at Capitol

Veterans advocate Jon Stewart talks with Brielle Robinson, 9, following a press conference on the Republican defeat of the Honoring Our PACT Act. Brielle is the daughter of the late SFC Heath Robinson, who died of a rare cancer following burn pit exposure, and for whom the bill is named. The legislation would have established a connection between military service and exposure to toxins via burn pits, easing access to healthcare for veterans and active duty members.
