Yes, it is a sad mess, and an embarassment that our country has turned it's back on these heroes. It's not acting like the country that was once the smartest, in the world. Greed has made so many blind.

What a shocker! Of course it gave them cancer. Inhaling any kind of dust for a prolonged time will predispose you to cancer. Let alone toxic dust. It's insulting to the people who gave so selflessly not to give them free medical care until studies have been done. They should get any maedical help for any ailment as far as I'm concerned.
