Exclusive Sneak Peak: FIREWATCH - A Burn Pit Story
At the Gala of Valor, we invite you to experience an exclusive 20-minute preview of FIREWATCH - a documentary that tells the untold story of how a movement began in a small town and echoed all the way to the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
FIREWATCH began at a kitchen table in Robstown, Texas, where Captain Le Roy Torres and his wife Rosie turned anguish into action after Le Roy returned from war with invisible wounds caused by toxic exposure. What startes as a cry for help became a nationwide fight for justice, untiting military families, Gold Star widows, and even the 9/11 World Trade Center firefighters who stood with us, shoulder to shoulder.
The film captures the raw emotion of five sleepless nights spent on the steps of the Capitol, standing watch not for ourselves, but for every veteran who could no longer breathe, speak, or fight.
This powerful preview honors the resilience of those who refused to give up until the promise of the PACT ACT was fulfilled, and reminds us why we must continue to protect it.
Directed by Joel M. Gonzalez, acclaimed for co-producing The Long Game, FIREWATCH weaves together raw emotion, advocacy, and sacrifice into a powerful testament of courage. It captures a movement born out of pain, propelled by purpose, and destined to leave a legacy.
This exclusive preview is not just a moment, it is a call to action. Because behind every policy is a person. And behind every law, a family that refused to give up.
BurnPits360 is community of veterans with burn pit-related illness, their families, and advocates with the common goal of exposing the harms of toxic burn pit exposure and obtaining benefits and policy change. Join us.
