HOUSTON, TX — the children of a fallen Marine are in desperate need of your help. Luke, the oldest son of United States Marine Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd, who gave his life on 11/9/2025 after 15 years of suffering from burn pit poisoning, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in April 2025 after going into diabetic ketoacidosis and fighting for his life in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Texas Children’s Hospital. His condition is life-threatening and suspected to be tied to the same toxic exposure that cost his father his life. Instead of grieving the loss of their father, the Lloyd family has remained in an uphill battle with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Marine Corps. 132 days following Sgt. Lloyd’s death—and a public statement by @SecNav—there is still no TRICARE, the military health insurance that would provide the insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor that keeps him alive. Sgt. Lloyd’s death is 100% service-connected. These are benefits his children earned with his life. This is not a clerical error. Without this coverage, Luke will die. Luke relies on an OmniPod 5 insulin pump and Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor to survive. The Lloyd family is not going anywhere. This fight is not over. Sgt. Lloyd’s children will not be left behind. @SecNav Montgomery, TX #Type1 #TRICARE #VeteranFamilies #Diabetes #VA

President Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump , 156 days ago @SECNAV the Secretary of the Navy told the world that Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd’s children would be taken care of “without delay.” Today, his son is being denied insulin. @UnsinkableDolly Not just the pump. Not just the supplies. The insulin. Is this what “without delay” looks like?

It is time America stepped up and did what’s right for our Combat Wounded Vets! #MajorRichardStarAct

Gunny Diaz! Come on down!

My favorite part of the VA discussion tonight is that not even five months ago I watched one of my Marines rapidly develop and get destroyed by rectal cancer that was linked to swimming in burn pits. He was one of several guys from that deployment that died that way almost twenty years later. Me and the boys are all pretty much waiting our turn at this stage. We had a company Gunnery Sergeant that was an absolute piece of shit on my first deployment. His hobbies included eating all of the Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, and finding menial and pointless tasks for the Marines to do when they could instead be sleeping. One of his favorite ways to pass the time was to sit on the hood of his gator inside of FOB Omar while the React Marines police called the burn pit looking for “non-burnables.” You see, the cool thing about a burn pit is that after a while they just stay on fire, like pretty much forever. They get real soupy in the less hot parts, and you can walk on top of the plastic soup. Sometimes, lazy Marines will throw pen flares, lithium batteries, SAW drums full of 5.56, and other random fun things in there instead of disposing of them properly. It was easier to toss the shit than it was to deal with Gunny interrogating you on why you needed to get rid of a dead battery. Most of the time, those things just pop on their own anyways. It’s no big deal, since it’s all just trash and it’s usually sequestered away from sleeping areas. For Gunny Diaz though, this was unsightly. You could see the “non-burnables” in the burn pit. What if the Battalion Commander, or someone from higher up the chain of command were on the OP when one of those things popped, or worse, what if they saw a radio battery!? Well, that would bring Gunny Diaz’s reputation as a Company Gunnery Sergeant into question. Can’t have that. His solution was pretty simple. Take the Marines from react, whenever they weren’t busy escorting Iraqis into the OP to get free money from “Captain Tom,” and have them wade into the burn pit to pick out the non-burnables. Easy. Gunny got a Navy Commendation Medal. We all get to have cancer twenty years later. Fuck you Gunny Diaz. You were and always will be a useless fat piece of shit, undeserving of the 0369 MOS and title of Company Guns. It wasn’t a very kinetic deployment. It wasn’t just us infantrymen that got to swim in the burning plastics. The cooks got a turn. The comm guys got a turn. The mechanics got a turn. Everyone got a bit of cancer swimming in. Great fun for everyone. Kevin died in November. He left behind a family who was entirely abandoned by the VA once he passed. They haven’t received any of the help his widow was promised. But yeah, financial Jerry Springer really do be doing the hard hitting investigative journalism on the massive VA fraud numbers.

If you support our wounded veterans please support The Major Richard Star Act. This bill would end an unfair pay offset faced by tens of thousands of combat-injured veterans who lose a dollar of retirement pay for every dollar of VA disability compensation. Take action at hubs.li/Q049WspH0 #staract #AdvocacyInAction

On March 24, 2026, I formally sent letters to @SVACGOP, @HouseVetAffairs, and @RepLuttrell urging action on the Major Richard Star Act. This bill already has the support. 78 Senators. 317 Representatives. Bipartisan backing. 54,000 combat-injured veterans affected. Leadership has the authority to move it forward. Now it’s time to bring it to a vote. #MajorRichardStarAct #Veterans

Sgt Lloyd is dead because the government valued $30,341 more than the life of a United States Marine. @SECNAV @CMC_MarineCorps How about funding for treatment for the Veterans dying on American soil because our military poisoned them during OIF& OEF and now they’re dead like Sgt Kevin Lee Lloyd 2/3 Fox Co MCBH who was poisoned by the burn pits after he was ordered to go swimming in the poison by a superior officer because God forbid during the Batallion commander’s visit there couldn’t be any visible non burnables! Why doesn’t his budget include funding for my type 1 diabetic son’s insulin pump? Why doesn’t it include the $7K they owe me in caregiver pay after I relocated our children to care for my EX HUSBAND because he was homeless and terminally ill. Why doesn’t it include paying me back the $2K burial reimbursement after I paid $14K for a funeral for my EX HUSBAND because the Marine Corps poisoned him and everyone else left him behind. How about funding for medical advocacy for Veterans like Kev who was misdiagnosed by the Marine Corps when he was forced to medically separate right before picking up Staff Sgt E6? Or what about Veterans like Sgt Lloyd who are denied access to treatments and referrals for their cancer even when they’re on community care because the VA knew his cancer was too complicated for them to treat? Oh! What about funding to investigate why physicians at Michael t hospital in Houston are manipulated and attempted to be coerced onto hospice when they’ve repeatedly stated they wanted aggressive treatment. Or investigation into why when a veteran files a “confidential” report to the VA hotline and then the physician it was written about is allowed to print the “confidential” complaint and go to the veterans bedside to intimidate them ? @GenFlynn @jonstewart @Burnpit360

Members of Congress, I know many of you support the Major Richard Star Act. I’m asking you to see what that means for families like mine. Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd died from 100% service-connected cancer caused by burn pit exposure. We have three boys. His dying wish was to set the final precedent — that what happened to him must never be allowed to happen to another family. The Secretary of the Navy publicly stated his retirement was granted. Marine Corps Times reported it as a victory. But that has not been our reality. If this Act is supported, families like mine should not still be fighting for what was already earned. For Sgt. Lloyd. And for every family behind us. @RepGusBilirakis @RepRaulRuizMD @SenBlumenthal @SenatorTester @HouseVetAffairs @SenateVA @DeptVetAffairs @DeptofDefense @secnav #StandWithSgtLloyd #Veteran #MajorRichardStarAct #BurnPits

389 days waiting. Fewer than 100 legislative days left. ⏰ The Major Richard Star Act has sat idle for over a year in the 119th Congress. We want a recorded floor vote. No more delays. No more excuses. 👇 Repost to demand action now. #MajorRichardStarAct #Veterans

These are not new benefits. These are what he already earned. Families like mine should not still be waiting.

A Marine was used as a guinea pig. Now he’s dead. I’m begging you— watch the video testimony Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd gave months before he died. It could save your life. He asked for 100%. They gave him 60%—for migraines. The day after he died. That difference isn’t paperwork. It’s whether his children are taken care of… or left behind. @SecNav—was a Marine’s dying wish honored? @CMC_MarineCorps @Burnpit360 @jonstewart @TheDailyShow @patriciakime

Marines—does this sit right with you? Luke is Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd’s son. He was conceived right after Sgt. Lloyd was poisoned. He is a type 1 diabetic with no family history. He went into diabetic ketoacidosis in April 2025 and almost died. His pancreas has failed. He requires an insulin pump to survive. His care costs over $1,000 a month. Without his medication, Luke will die. Sgt. Kevin Lee Lloyd died on 11/9/2025 after being ordered into a burn pit by a superior officer. 139 days ago, the Secretary of the Navy told the world his children would be taken care of. Instead— his sons have nothing. Because of that statement, no one is helping us. And I have to ask— what are organizations like the Semper Fi Fund and TAPS for, if not to help the children of a Marine who gave his life for this country? Before his death, Kev spent hours gathering paperwork for the Semper Fi Fund. We submitted everything. Receipts, documentation—everything. For nothing. The VFW and the Wounded Warrior Regiment endorsed the validity of our case directly to the Semper Fi Fund. Neither they—nor TAPS—has helped us with a dime. Before his hospital admission, he was homeless. He could not even be discharged home because he had no home to go to. We were not married—but I secured housing so he would not be trapped in the hospital and could pursue treatment, including a clinical trial. I relocated our children and gave up everything to care for him. I spent 141 days at his bedside— and it has devastated my health. The Marine Corps denies responsibility for the cancer that killed him. He was given 60% retirement for migraines— the day after he died. His children were denied CRSC. The officer who gave the order was awarded. Their denial of responsibility has left his sons with nothing. I am trying to hold onto the only stability they have left— the home they shared with their dad— and we are still drowning. Please— we just want to grieve. But no one is helping us. So I am asking you— Does this align with the core values of the Marine Corps? Honor. Courage. Commitment. If you can help keep a roof over their heads and ensure Luke has access to life-saving care, please share this and donate if you can: gofundme.com/f/support-the-c…

Major Richard Star should be here to see this bill pass. Instead, his seat—and far too many others—remain empty. For the 54,000 combat-injured veterans still fighting this battle, the #MajorRichardStarAct is the only way to fix the unfair offset that forces them to lose their earned retirement pay just because they receive disability benefits. The Math of Injustice: • $850B : Annual U.S. Defense Budget. • $10B: Cost to fix this “Wounded Veteran Tax” over 10 years. • 0.1%: The tiny fraction of the annual defense budget. To put that into perspective: About one-tenth of one percent of the defense budget. The Will of the People: • 317 House Cosponsors (72% of the house) • 78 Senate Cosponsors (78% of the senate) • Zero Floor Votes Congress: Is 0.1% worth the life of another veteran? How many more of the 54,000 must we lose while waiting to act? Repost to demand a floor vote. 🇺🇸 #Veterans #Caregivers

This made me cry. Thank you for your humanity. This is so much bigger than my family. So many veteran are sick, dying or have already died and their deaths aren’t being counted! Kevin’s research uncovered so much and I promised him I would continue his advocacy because this is bigger than agent orange
