Spc. Kirt P. Love

Mr. Love is currently Director of the Desert Storm Battle

Registry since 1997. After years of personal frustration with

government inactivity over Gulf War Issues, the DSBR was

formed to accumulate data concerning the War and post effects.

To track military record data, medical records, research data,

and the lack of tangible DOD/VA medical care provided veterans.

Kirt distinguished duty was with the US. Army was with 141

Signal Battalion, Company C of 1st AD; Deployed from

USAREUR Germany attached to VII Corp.

He was awarded Army Commendation Medal for service’s

preformed with the 141st Signal Battalion, 1st Armored Division

during Desert Shield/Storm from December 20th, 1990 to April

30th 1991. At that time he functioned as Power Generation

Equipment Specialist .

Post deployment illness kept Mr. Love from return to his pre

military occupation of commercial sign illustrator, and muralist

due to hypersensitive to the material composition of the paints.

Mr. Love re-trained in the electronic Information processing field,

to include electronic document research, transmission, and

electronic security. Out of financial desperation Mr. Love briefly

worked for CompUSA in Government Computer sales at their

National Call Center.

Due to Gulf War illness he is unable to continue this full time

position, and has returned to his mission as military researcher

to determine exposures his unit encountered to establish his

own case before BVA review in Washington DC. In this effort

he has written and obtains responsive to over 820 FOIA’s from

varied agencies such as DOD, DIA, NSA, FDA, CDC, NAVY,

ARMY, Air Force, SOCCOM, ARCENT, NAVCENT,

MARCENT, CINCENT, NAVSEUR, CENTCOM, NARA,

EUSEUR, Dept of State, and OSAGWI and so on.

Mr. Love keeps an ongoing Registry of over 1,000 veterans he

has met, and which issues disturbs them. He has personally

interacted with over 3,900 in the last 4 years. Mr. Love has

attended meetings with the IOM, Independent Gulf War Illnesses

Conferences, Pentagon Conference with Gulf War Investigative

Offices, OSAGWI Town Hall Meetings, Presidential Special

Oversight, CDC Chemical/Biological conference, and so on.

 

Events attended, literature, articles still on the net:

 

Restoring Faith in the Pentagon; Science Magazine article

Like many other veterans, Love and Hammack--both ill after serving in the 
Gulf--have turned their anger into activism. And they're sure of one thing: 
The Department of Defense has no intention of letting the truth about Gulf 
War illness come out.
