To the teachers and parents of children attending Bob Hope Primary School and Amelia Earhart Intermediate School, Kadena Air Base, Okinawa:
My name is Heather Bowser and I am the cofounder and national coordinator of the Children of Vietnam Veterans Health Alliance. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Okinawa City where, in June, barrels of an unknown substance were uncovered near your children's playground.
Have you heard of the discovery? More than 20 chemical drums were found buried on the other side of the fence just past one of your jungle gyms.
