Command Sgt. Maj. Ty Henery reflects on Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson’s life and legacy (A-Roll/Interview)
Ohio National Guard Public Affairs

Command Sgt. Maj. Ty Henery discusses the life and legacy of his friend and fellow Ohio Army National Guard member, Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson, who died May 6, 2020, due to a rare autoimmune disease and lung cancer from toxic burn pit exposure. While enduring his own illness, Robinson and his family helped lead advocacy efforts for veterans who suffered similar conditions and were not receiving adequate health care through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Three years after being diagnosed, Robinson died at age 39, leaving behind his wife, Danielle, and daughter, Brielle. His efforts and legacy continue to live on. On Aug. 2, 2022, Congress passed the Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, which enables veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits to receive health care through the VA.
