We received this request and felt we should share the info below with the Veteran community.

Thanks for getting back to me. I represent Mesothelioma.com, a leading Internet resource for information about mesothelioma, a fatal form of cancer. I am also a veteran of the United States Navy, and a proud advocate for veterans. In addition to public outreach efforts, I maintain the Mesothelioma.com Veterans Blog, which provides news and information specifically for veterans.

As you may know, mesothelioma cancer is caused by previous exposure to asbestos. Countless veterans were exposed to asbestos while aboard naval ships, while repairing military vehicles and aircraft, and while residing in aging military housing. Troops currently serving in Iraq are also at risk of asbestos exposure, making this a very timely health and safety issue for veterans and all members of the military community.

Because Mesothelioma.com has such crucial information to share with veterans, I would like to inquire about adding a resource link to our veteran medical support section on your website. I am confident that the information we provide, including content focused on military asbestos exposure, a listing of veteran-specific hospitals and medical centers, and a database of medical & legal resources for veterans will benefit all who visit our site.

Thanks for taking the time to consider my request, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours in health and service,

Doug
