We’re dedicated to helping veterans and families who were stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987 which had two contaminated water supply systems. Nearly 1 million people were exposed to toxic chemicals that have been proven to cause cancer and other serious health conditions. Due to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, we’re now able to get justice for the victims. Our veteran’s page gives a great breakdown of VA benefits and steps vets can take if they’ve been impacted: https://www.
