Interview with Dr. Michael Gros, a victim of water contamination at US Marine base

On June 12, victims of Camp Lejeune’s water contamination appeared in Washington, D.C., before a hearing convened by the House Energy and Commerce Committee to give testimony about the cancers and myriad illnesses they believe were contracted from exposure to the toxins. Retired Master Gunnery Sergeant Jerry Ensminger, former Navy physician Dr. Michael Gros and former Marine air traffic controller Jeff Byron spoke movingly about the horrific impact of the poisoning on themselves and their families. Ensminger lost his nine-year-old daughter Janey to leukemia, while Byron’s two daughters are afflicted with serious health problems that include a spinal disorder and a rare condition called plastic anemia.
