Retired U.S. Marine Corps Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger has been to Washington, D.C., more times than he can count. He s given nine congressional testimonies, and for nearly 24 years he’s been the tip of the spear for survivors of the water contamination crisis that occurred at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987.
THE BEGINNING
Ensminger’s motivation is his late daughter Janey, his only child born, conceived or carried at Camp Lejeune.
In 1983, Janey was diagnosed with leukemia at 6 years old. By then, base officials had been notified of contaminated water by multiple lab tests dating back to 1980.
