You want to know why Camp Lejeune should make every American furious? Watch this video. This is Gregory Moore. He was driving home from school one day when he saw a Marine recruiter at a stoplight, and something about that moment changed his life. He called the recruiter that same day, joined the Marine Corps in 1982, and has loved being a Marine every day since. Gregory arrived at Camp Lejeune in 1983. Like every other Marine stationed there, he drank the water, showered in it, cooked with it, and never thought twice. For decades, the base’s water systems were poisoned by industrial solvents—trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, benzene, and vinyl chloride—leaking from dry-cleaning waste and underground fuel tanks. The government knew about it, but Marines and their families were not told. Gregory’s son later asked why he would ever drink that water. His answer was simple: “I didn’t know it was bad water. I always thought the Marine Corps would never do me any harm.” In 2020, Gregory was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His PSA was 710. His doctor told him a normal cancer case is maybe 50 or 60, and that she had never seen a number as high as his. He never smoked.
 He never did drugs.
 He has been drunk three times in 63 years. “If I had to fight and go to war and die, yeah, I did. But I didn’t sign up for my government to poison me.” The Camp Lejeune Justice Act passed in 2022 along bipartisan lines. Gregory thought he would finally get justice for being poisoned on a U.S. Marine base; instead, the claim was dragged out… and out… and out. More than 400,000 veterans and families have filed claims. Years later, the vast majority are still waiting for justice. A sliver of claimants have been offered limited “elective option” payouts while the rest are trapped in delay, paperwork, and endless loopholes. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward at the Department of Justice was put in charge of Camp Lejeune settlement approvals, and he has failed to deliver justice. He took control of that process, and under his watch, it’s been nothing but a total disaster. Most claimants have received nothing, and these proud American veterans are dying one by one while the government they served keeps them waiting. They try to find every loophole to not compensate people for what they knew was a tragedy. If this is how we treat the people who served this country—poisoned by the water on their own base, then left to fight their government for compensation—how are we supposed to look the next generation in the eye and ask them to enlist? Gregory ends the video with four words: Semper Fi. Always faithful. This man and thousands of veterans like him kept their end of the deal. The government has not kept theirs. WE HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THIS.
