                     RECOGNIZING THE WILSON FAMILY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the lives of Brent Wilson 
of Nash County and many others just like him were forever changed by 
exposure to toxins at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
  Brent grew up on the base as the son of a career marine. At 39, he 
was diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer. He fought through surgery, 
radiation, and cutting-edge treatments that extended his life but left 
him with permanent brain damage.
  Even with programs in place, families like Brent's are still forced 
to navigate a system that too often works against them.
  Under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, many are running out of time, 
confined to a narrow, 2-year filing window, even as the science makes 
clear these illnesses can take decades to surface.
  As many families have served our great country, Congress must now 
deliver for them.
