Veterans@Camp Lejeune from 1988 and beyond
Justice for those stationed at Camp Lejeune MCB Water Contamination After 1987 that were affected with life threatening health issues or death due to the Chemically Contaminated Water.
Why is this important?
Camp Lejeune MCB had a water contamination issue that affected many Active Duty Military and families, causing major health issues and diseases such as Cancer, and Leukemia which led to deaths of many including children.
Camp Lejeune toxic water contamination 1950s-1987. ... The toxic water contained Volatile Organic Compounds (PCE TCE), toxic fuel derivatives and ... In the case of those families who spent time at Camp Lejeune, a bill was signed by President Obama Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, military families who have been affected by the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina will have the health care they need. The main problem with this bill is that those of us that served beginning 1988 aren't eligible for anything. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2009, my oncologist said since it doesn't run in my family it seemingly is Environmental. My late husband stationed at Lejeune from 1985 until 1991 died in 2006 because he accidentally overdosed by self medicating for the extremely painful headaches he endured while residing in the barracks of HP-55, which we both resided prior to our marriage. Unfortunately, my husband Cpl Bryan Morris didn't live to know about the water contamination or how it has affected both him, his children and myself. Their is no way that the clean up for something that was lurking in the water supply system for over 30 years would be cleaned up by 1987, much less 1988, 1989 and so on. It is imperative for all of the servicemen and women who were both living and working on the base during those times to also get benefits for health issues they have been diagnosed with since their departure from Camp Lejeune MCB, Jacksonville, N.C.
