Denied
The Board denied service connection for laryngeal cancer because the Veteran did not prove exposure to herbicide agents or contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, and there is no evidence linking his cancer to service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claims of herbicide exposure were speculative and unsupported by evidence, and that his laryngeal cancer was not related to his service.
