Yes it was criminal

Dear Editor,

I am reaching out as a family member of three people who died because the U.S. government knowingly poisoned the water at Camp Lejeune.

Despite overwhelming evidence, the Department of Defense and Department of Justice covered up the contamination for decades and are still delaying justice through endless legal battles.

This is not a tragedy — it's criminal negligence that led to murder.

Thousands of families are waiting for answers and fair compensationwhile the government spends taxpayer money fighting them in court.

This platform has the power to shine a light on this ongoing injustice and to pressure officials to do the right thing. I urge everyone to call their representatives and ask them to support the bipartisan bills H.R. 4145 and S.907. These bills are critical for holding the government accountable and ensuring that Camp Lejeune victims receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

Sincerely,

Susan Peterson
