On a personal note, the President remembered his son Beau Biden whose death was due to cancer and noted that Tuesday, would be Beau’s eight death anniversary. Although Beau didn’t die in the battlefield, he was a military man.
Beau Biden had been deployed as a major in the United States Army National Guard in Iraq. Biden spoke of the connection between brain cancer with the burn pits Beau had been exposed to in Iraq.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has said that massive open-air burn pits that were often located near military bases might have contributed to both short terms and long-term health conditions for those who were exposed to toxic fumes released by these burn pits.
