Camp Lejeune victims seek change to disability benefit process
A Maryland family is working to help veterans get the benefits to which they're entitled when it comes to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. Outside of Luis Martinez Jr.'s South Baltimore home, you'll find symbols of his service with the Marine Corps and his presence at the North Carolina military installation. Inside the home, you'll find him and his family still recovering from the impacts. "The Marine Corps and the military is all run by the government," Martinez told WBAL-TV 11 News Investigates. "The government are the ones that are involved and should be to blame for not taking care of their veterans." Martinez was an active Marine for four years stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1984-1987. He never knew the water he was drinking was contaminated until he got a letter in the mail months after he left. He started to experience physical effects starting in April 2025, when a tumor started growing in his mouth after a tooth extraction.
