In 1992 she was stationed with the National Guard in Kuwait, where she cleaned out US military vehicles that had been hit by 'depleted' uranium munitions by US forces. She was intrumental in pushing for the passage of a Connecticut law that requires state advocacy for federal testing and treatment. The law applies to returning Connecticut National Guard members who have reason to believe they were exposed to 'depleted' uranium during their service.
Ms. Sterry was introduced by Joan Walker, an organizer with the DU Media Campaign.
