“It has been a priority of mine to help provide closure to our former Lejeune families,” Hagan said. “This cannot happen until all ATSDR studies are complete, and until we ensure that these families exposed to water contaminants at Camp Lejeune receive the appropriate compensation from the VA. Congress, the Department of the Navy and ATSDR all need to work together on these efforts.”

No other story needs to be told. Mother Russia had a chance to save her men, but the decision makers chose to let them die, just like the Marine Corps and the Dept. of the Navy. Hell, the Navy doesn't like Marines in the first place. It was easier, less costly, and dead men tell no tales. That is why.

Greetings,
A lot has been happening over the past two months behind the scenes. First we are starting to hear of more veterans getting VA awards.

Camp Lejeune breast cancer survivors try to raise awareness - St. Petersburg Times
The 13 breast cancer survivors gathered last month at a Boston hotel for a calendar photo shoot that will raise money to research the causes of the disease.
They shared stories of recovery. They talked about surgeries and hospital stays and their hopes for the future. In their camaraderie, some may have momentarily forgotten the improbable and puzzling novelty of their gathering.
