Rosie Torres is a devoted military wife, mother, and grandmother, with a remarkable 23-year career at the Department of Veteran Affairs. Motivated by her husband's unresolved health issues after his deployment, Rosie became a pivotal advocate for veterans affected by burn pits and toxic chemicals. She founded the first independent Burn Pit registry to document symptoms from such exposures, casting light on the overlooked struggles of many families.

Her advocacy played a crucial role in passage of the Veteran Affairs Airborne Hazards Open Hazards Burn Pit Registry signed by President Obama.

She organized a 5 day fire watch on the steps of our U.S capitol and together with comedian Jon Stewart, John Feal from the Fealgood Foundation, Firefighters from the 9/11 WTC Community and several Veterans they passed the "Honoring our PACT Act of 2022," which now provides recognition and necessary healthcare benefits to veterans suffering from toxic exposures.

Thanks to her efforts, more than five million veterans have received care and benefits. Recognizing her relentless dedication, Rosie was nominated for the Medal of Freedom by several members of Congress in November 2022.

Retired U.S. Army Captain Le Roy Torres is the Co-Founder of Burn Pits 360 and a principal architect of the 2022 Honoring Our PACT Act — the largest expansion of VA healthcare and benefits in history, now covering more than five million veterans.

After a 2007 deployment to Iraq left him with terminal lung disease and a toxic brain injury, he waged a landmark USERRA employment rights case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, winning a precedent-setting victory and a $2.49 million jury award after 13 years of legal battle.

Legislation now bears his name. A three-time Presidential Medal of Freedom nominee, Le Roy has testified before Congress, served as a 2022 State of the Union guest, and received the LULAC Presidential Commendation Award.

He now serves as Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor at Torres Consulting — helping organizations drive policy reform, build coalitions, and create lasting change for communities that have been left behind.
