President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is hoping to make care for veterans with burn pit injuries a talking point in his bid for a second term and will launch a new ad Saturday featuring two of the most prominent advocates linked to that work.

Rose and Le Roy Torres, founders of Burn Pits 360, appear in the ad titled “Proud,” which will be aired across a host of TV networks on Veterans Day. In the spot, the pair credit Biden with expanding health care options for veterans exposed to toxic smoke from burn pits used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
