David did not want to be photographed or have his last name used because life wasn’t supposed to work out this this way. When you serve your country in an overseas war and return home to a decent-paying manufacturing job, and live clean and raise a family, you shouldn’t end up homeless. But David did.
Life took a bad turn for the 67-year-old Vietnam vet when he was working at Johns Manville, the insulation factory in Manville that would become an epicenter of asbestos sickness lawsuits.
