WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- President Obama signed into law Monday legislation designed to improve healthcare for veterans and help homeless veterans.
The bipartisan "Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012" allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide VA healthcare to veterans and their families who have been diagnosed with a disease related to the toxic water contamination that occurred at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from 1957 to 1987.
