Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is the unspoken truth of the U.S. military. Even after serving active duty, veterans still fight the effects of the battlefront. Since the military has used asbestos in various applications, asbestos exposure is common. However, veterans of the navy and those who served on naval vessels face the highest risk because asbestos was such a prevalent insulator. This blanketing cancer has ultimately affected about one million veterans in the U.S.
As our veterans age, it becomes increasingly important to ensure their continued health.
