Mesothelioma affecting our Veterans

Wondering why I’m sharing this information? Did you know that service members in each of our branches, (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines) particularly those that served during World War II, Korean conflict and Vietnam are among the highest diagnosed with Mesothelioma cancer due to their exposure of asbestos.

Heart breaking right? Our heros suffering from PTSD and other injuries from those conflicts and they also have this to worry about. Like with anything else, awareness is key. After finding asbestos management surveys website, I realised just how important it is for everyone to have an awareness of the services that are out there to help get rid of asbestos, and I cannot stress the importance of people acting on this! As I have been educated about Mesothelioma, I am glad to share this information with you all today.
