Info for our Marines

[mini-muffin]

I've been reading about this story for a bit and I know we have folks that were Marines. So I thought this might be pertinent to them. Seems that Camp Lejeune here in NC had some water problems. There is a group that have come up with some health problems which they attribute to the toxic water they were exposed to. This is there website. It's going before the Senate here shortly and there is a bill where the Senator from NC is trying to get VA benefits for former Marines and their families due to this. The water seems to have been cleaned up now.

Just thought I'd pass this on in case we have anyone that may have been affected and need to know where to go.

A friend of ours was there during that period and is quite sick with cancer and he has an adult daughter with a birth defect. There is something to it, now just if the VA would recognize it.

Thanks for this info. My daughter and son in law live on base but just moved there. There were in an apt off base for the last 18 mos. He's been deployed twice but I'm sure he drank some of the water.

This is for anyone who was stationed or lived at Camp Lejeune between 1957-1987. Evidently there was some sort of chemical in the drinking water during this time. The Marines are sending out letters, but just in case you haven't heard yet...

Thanks for this link. I was stationed there from 1977 to 1978. I did a little surfing at work and discovered that I have some of the minor issues others were talking about. I need to do more research.
