Monday, October 22. Free Screening of documentary film, Semper Fi: Always Faithful, Elliott University Center Auditorium, 7 p.m.
The film chronicles the efforts of U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant Jerry Ensminger on behalf of Marines and their families exposed to toxic drinking water at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in Jacksonville, NC. These efforts resulted in the introduction of the Janey Ensminger Act in the House and the Caring for Camp Lejeune Veterans Act in the Senate. The act is named after Mr. Ensminger's daughter who died of leukemia in 1985 at the age of nine.
We are delighted to announce that Mr. Ensminger will join us for the film screening to update us on the story since the film was made and lead a discussion of it.
