A retired marine is fighting for thousands of troops and their families exposed to toxic tap water at a North Carolina base.  He's pushing for a new federal bill designed to help victims of Camp Lejeune.

good luck is all I can say! My father has been fighting for benefits since vietnam and I have been fighting since Panama in 1989. I think it would be poor if he gets his before we get ours but I wish him luck!

Too often our veterans have to try and try to get the benefits they deserve and were promised to them. One only has to go to a veterans clinic or hospital to see numerous young men with mangled bodies to see why we owe them the best care and our heart felt gratitude. God Bless our American Veterans.
