Soldiers’ mysterious lung disease identified
BY: CAROLE BARTOO
2/12/2010 – As the Chief Warrant Officer in charge of
maintenance for the Blackhawk helicopters flown by 101st Airborne
soldiers in Iraq, 52-year-old Jimmy Williams says, he always felt
protective of the young servicemen and women he worked with
overseas.
Now, Williams has come to Vanderbilt University Medical Center
seeking an invasive procedure — one that won’t do anything at all
for his health. But it’s one he hopes might help some of those
younger soldiers.
