(BOSTON ) - The word about our motorcycle-based Veteran outreach mission, Operation Red Dragonfly, is getting out nationally.

It is due in no small part to the actions of caring Americans like Jamal Belica of Boston, who visited a Marine Vet this week who was raising funds to help fellow Veterans.

This tough Marine in Boston offers words of encouragement to Salem-News.com's Tim King, author, reporter and ex-Marine, who is touring the US to raise awareness of Veteran health issues connected to contaminated military bases.

Jamal Belica says he hopes his donation is reflected in our mission to reach and educate military members and Veterans about the dangers they face from chemicals which overwhelmingly contaminate military bases. It is very serious and the outreach will potentially save lives.

Like the Vet in this video, Tim King is taking his message to the public. His mission is different because Tim is riding a motorcycle solo across the country and back, offering talks, making media appearances, and taking every opportunity to spread the word about base contamination and chemicals like TCE (trichloroethylene) - a notorious cancer causing chemical degreaser, and benzene, an ingredient in fuel, and the list goes on from there.

Tim co-authored BETRAYAL - Toxic Exposure of U.S. Marines, Murder, and Government Cover-up , with fellow former Marine Robert O'Dowd of Somerdale, N.J. Tim will have a copy of the book which is still in proof stage. Pre-orders for the book may be taken during Tim's talks.
