My birthday of January 1st was the same as our hero Msgt Leroy Foster but 4 years difference.With out Leroy a lot of this exposure (no pun intended)....none of military troops or civilians would find out the poisoning of our troops.I was living in Tin City on base.McCoy was the last SAC base to go home side!!
