The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten

Thursday, February 18 2010 -

For years now there has been an ongoing [cover-up/convenient set of events] surrounding the drinking water on Camp Lejeune.

A great many Marines, family members, children of family members have lived on the base and been exposed to the toxins that are undeniably in the water. I am no exception. I’ve been on Lejeune briefly, but have certainly drank much of the same water.

I was stationed on Camp Johnson, which is essentially next door to Camp Lejeune. We did exercises on Lejeune, we drank the water, we hung out, etc.

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to those stenciled letters on the “water buffulo’s” that the Corps would haul out to the rifle range. When it says Potable Water, it really meant was:  contains trace elements of benzene… have a nice day.

MSNBC has a story highlighting this debacle which you can read here, however if you want less of the varnished truth you should go to the site created specifically for those who are afflicted by the toxins they absorbed at Lejeune. The site: The Few the Proud the Forgotten.
