"When I was initially diagnosed with leukemia, burn pits was the farthest from my mind," Myatt told Fox News in an exclusive interview. "I never probably would have made that connection on my own without the help of my veteran service officer."
That veteran service officer is with the Wounded Warrior Project, which advocates for veterans all over the country like Andrew.
