Voice of Our Warriors
by Tori Seals
Welcome to Voice of Our Warriors, where we tackle the bureaucratic, legislative, and systemic challenges impacting our military families, veterans, and especially those left behind—our surviving spouses.Why: Sgt. Jeremy "Jay" Seals dedicated his life to serving his family and his country, yet it was a combination of military medical malpractice, neglect, and toxic exposure that ultimately took his life. After being stationed in Afghanistan, Jay was exposed to burn pits and hazardous toxins, which likely contributed to his deteriorating health. In 2012, a routine scan during his time in Belgium detected a concerning abnormality, but the Army medical system failed to inform him or act on it. For years, his persistent health issues were dismissed by military doctors, who misdiagnosed or minimized his symptoms. By the time the VA identified his condition in 2016, it was too late—Jay had Stage 4 stomach cancer, an illness that had been growing undetected for years
