Overland Park veteran hopes PACT Act helps family get justice

The PACT Act, which was just approved by the U.S. Senate, is on its way to helping veterans exposed to toxins during their service. It will also help vets made sick by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. KMBC 9 spoke with a local veteran about how she hopes the legislation will help her family get justice.

The PACT Act includes legislation that would open a two-year window for veterans who served at Camp Lejeune to file a lawsuit. Retired Marine Crystal Kelley, who lives in Overland Park, says she believes the exposure severely impacted her daughter's life.
