Letter to Congressman Jeff Miller, on this memorial day weekend.
Jeff Miller,
I’m writing to share a little information with you as the chairman of the committee on veteran affairs, You have and have always had the power through your commit……tee’s to correct the Camp Lejeune water contaminated matter. From observation I see that you are a very large part of the do nothing congress, that put things …off until the next election, or re-election. You and I, along with every member of your committee and subcommittee knows that as a result of the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps suppression of pertinent and relevant evidence. The Department of the Navy, in concert with the Marine Corps, violated these victims 4th, 5th and 14 Amendment rights to the United States of America Constitution. For you as a government leader to acknowledge this fact, is shameful, I understand that, but it does nothing to correct what has already been done, by our government and the agencies that works, under them. The suppression of information, in regards to the benzene, vinyl chloride and 500,000 gallons of fuel, found in the Camp Lejeune contaminated water, but was omitted by the contractors and subcontractors hire by the Department of the Navy. The Navy and Marine Corps effort to force Atsdr, to suppress information that would propel this research and studies forward. The unwillingness by the Navy and the Marine Corps to share information with the congressional members and the senate.
Senator Miller if you will stop the shuck and jive, the two step and the jigg. If you won’t address this important issue, for these victims. Pass it to our President, to use and executive order and then support his actions.

As a veteran of the MARINE CORPS , I loved the Corps and what it stands for ,, I was at LEJEUNE in the mid AND late 1960′s drank a lot of water ,,, I am now in my mid 60′ s,,,, what can they do to make me feel better about what they have DONE to all of the MARINES and their famlies all of those that have gone on ,, It’s a real shame that they gave away their integrety SHAME ON YOU !! SHAME SHAME SHAME suffer what we are suffering from now

Rodney I would appreciate you posting this on my Facebook Wall. Just type in this to get there Dr.Bob Osenenko Thanks
what he said!!!!!
Mr. Pilger, you are an incredible man and an America hero. God speed!
What an amazing man. I was surprised to see this Veterans Barracks incomplete ~ only 4 of the 5 Armed Forces gracing their walls.
GOD BLESS you MR. Pilger. As a active duty member of the US NAVY i salute you. Very Respectfully, HT2(SW) GRAHAM
His life is just amazing! What a wonderful human being! I honor this Man’s life by saying I am proud to be an American with People like himself who served our Country in honesty, and with integrity!
Men and boys nowadays, take a lesson. This is what a man is. Amazing.
thanks to all our military for all they did for our country and thanks for standing up for our country
Thank you Mr. Pilger for you part in fighting for our country and for inspiring others to do so.
Bill would have been fighting some where near my uncle who served in 9 Para, C Company and ws dropped behind Sword beach on 5/6 June 1944. He was one of the few that landed close to the designated drop zone and along with B Company took the Merville Gun Battery which defended Sword beach and had to be destroyed. He then went on to the Ardennes right through to Berlin. All these men and women past present and future should receive 5 star treatment from their governments as a matter of course. We should not have to demand proper treatment for them, they deserve it automatically. G-d bless em all
Way to go papa
You were a hero then and you are a hero now. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for your service. Hey it can’t hurt to ask if you like I can drive the RV.
I recently had one that I was lucky enough to get for 1500 and was able to drive the family from NY to Virginia and back. But I sold it cause I figured if I needed one I’d rather rent, it’s much less upkeep. It was a Class A RV. I got a break when my nieces husband’s friend had to sell it.
