Three veterans’ groups have sued the Department of Veterans Affairs over its handling of claims about contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
Multiple media outlets report the lawsuit was filed by Vietnam Veterans of America; The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten; and the Connecticut State Council of Vietnam Veterans of America.
The lawsuit says between 1953 and 1987 nearly one million Marines, sailors, civilian employees and family members unknowingly “drank, cooked with, and bathed in contaminated water” at Camp Lejeune.
Henry Huntley, a public affairs specialist with the Veterans Administration, told The Daily News of Jacksonville that he was not familiar with the lawsuit and could not comment.
WNCT in Greenville, North Carolina, reports the lawsuit was filed in a federal court in Connecticut with assistance from a veterans legal service team at Yale Law School.
