Mesothelioma is a rare lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos appeared to be the perfect insulation for heat-producing mechanisms in warships, due to its ability to resist corrosion and extreme heat. Throughout the 20th Century, particularly during World War II and the early Cold War years, massive amounts of asbestos were used in shipyards for the building of new ships. During this time, hundreds of thousands of sailors and shipyard workers were exposed to asbestos by breathing the tiny fibers found in insulation. Based on the following fatality statistics, working in an American shipyard during World War II was nearly as dangerous as fighting in the war.
This is a very serious health concern and it is my hope to raise awareness of mesothelioma. Please consider adding this link to your page. The more people who know about this disease, the better. You will find the resources and content helpful. Click on the links below ...

Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and how to file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied claim with the VA. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available for all veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you -- and then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best interests.
