Shanna Wymore checks for an email from the Department of Veterans Affairs chief of staff while her husband, Tim Wymore, sleeps Thursday afternoon. From September 2004 to March 2005 Air Force Tech. Sgt. Tim Wymore was stationed in Balad, Iraq where he was exposed to the burn pits, open air pits where waste was burned. When he returned home he had constant stomach pain. In October 2005 he had a tumor removed from his stomach. He has been wheel chair bound since this March. "I just want answers," Shanna said of her husbands condition. "We've been fighting for five years." The Department of Veterans Affairs recently acknowledged that his symptoms are due to burn pit exposure.
