2) We are trying to raise awareness with regard to asbestos exposure and the contraction of asbestos relataed diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma.  Older Veterans are a group that are potentially at risk due to the wide spread use of asbestos in building construction, boiler construction and ship building in the 1940's, 50's, 60's in some cases through the 1980's.
