Contaminated Water at Camp Lejeune - Help for Service Members in San Antonio

The water contamination at Camp Lejeune has affected thousands of veterans who served there; however, many people have never heard about this issue because they moved away after their service ended or were discharged due to other reasons (such as injury).
