‘PACT Act’ Champions to Receive 2022 Quincy Award
The Quincy Institute will honor Rosie Torres, Captain LeRoy Torres, and Burn Pits 360 – the organization they founded together – by presenting them with the annual Quincy Award for Responsible Statecraft.
The Torreses are being recognized for their extraordinary advocacy and relentless pursuit of government accountability for veterans’ illnesses from exposure to toxic burn pits while serving their country in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their efforts culminated in Congress passing and President Biden signing the PACT (Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics) Act into law in August 2022.

The Perpetually Irrational Ukraine Debate
By Stephen Walt, Non-Resident Fellow
Foreign Policy, 11/29/22
