Danielle Robinson, widow of Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson, an Ohio Army National Guard veteran who passed away May 6, 2020, discusses the life and legacy of her late husband. Ten years after a deployment, Sgt. 1st Class Robinson, a combat medic in the Ohio Army National Guard, developed a rare autoimmune disease and lung cancer from toxic burn pit exposure. While enduring his own illness, Robinson and his family helped lead advocacy efforts for veterans who suffered similar conditions and were not receiving adequate health care through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Three years after being diagnosed, Robinson died at age 39, leaving behind Danielle and their daughter, Brielle. His efforts and legacy continue to live on. On Aug. 2, 2022, Congress passed the Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, which enables veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits to receive health care through the VA.
