AMONG MANY WORKING TO GET THEIR COMPLAINTS HEARD. NOW THERE'S A NEW EFFORT TO ELIMINATE THE RED TAPE FOR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

SOME GAVE THEIR ALL BUT LEFT BEHIND ARE STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT FOR DECADES WAS AN UNKNOWN ENEMY IN THE WATER. A CAMPUS YOU THOSE THAT LIVED AND WORKED AT THE BASE BETWEEN 1953 1987, WERE EXPOSED TO DRY CLEANING CHEMICALS AND GAS AND ALL LEAKED INTO THE WATER IN BILL WAS SIGNED TO OPEN UP THE ABILITY TO FILE CLAIMS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN LIMITS. IT'S BEEN A SLOW PROCESS OF DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S, YOU KNOW. >> INTERPRETED THE BILL THE WAY. THEY THINK IT'S OUT OF THE RENN AMBURGY MADE IT HIS MISSION TO MAKE SURE THAT HELP COMES AS SOMEONE WHO SERVED AT CAMP LEJEUNE. >> AND AS SOMEONE WHO IS DEALING WITH HIS OWN MEDICAL ISSUES, MILOS. >> WELL, THE LIVER MOVING PROSTATE AND NOW I'M IN THE PROCESS IS SAFE TO SAY IN A POSSIBLY. >> AND ROOKIE MIA PROBLEMS, WHICH MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THAT HAVE BEEN COMPOUNDED BY DELAYS THAT LAWMAKERS HAVE NOTED AND THEN DEMANDED ANSWERS ON CLAIMS THAT HAVE TAKEN TOO FOR NOW ARE ONLY LIMITED TO A HANDFUL OF JUDGES.
