Welcome Home
Water quality issues at Camp Lejeune during the
1980s has begun to gain national attention.
Many Marines and their families who served at Camp Lejeune have been
displaying symptoms for years and recognition by the Navy has finally made
headlines.
The official word from the Department of the Navy is as follows:
"The Department of the Navy is funding two independent research initiatives.
The CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is
conducting a study to determine if
there is an association between exposure to the water and certain adverse
health effects.
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is reviewing scientific evidence on
associations between
adverse health effects and historical data."
Marines and their families, the Department of
the Navy and now the general public all agree
there is a problem. The need today, is
information.
Who may have been affected?
What symptoms are results of this poisoning?
Are there forms to submit?
The Problem? Answers to questions like this are
buried in hundreds of documents online.
This is where Life After Camp Lejeune (LACL)
comes in.
What this site was established to do is present
the most current data, advise Marines and their
families as to what forms need to be filled out
and links to others fighting to right this
wrong.
You will also find my story with the opportunity to tell yours.
We are currently working on setting up a blog to establish conversation.
LACL is not intended to dispense legal advice just information.
Semper fi Marine!
