I was a 25 year old women married to a marine in 1983 . I spent time with my husband there and became pregnant . After 7 weeks of feeling Terrible weakness and fatigue I returned home to Brooklyn to my parents home .1 week later I had a miscarriage. I always felt it was the food at Camp Lejeune . I returned to the base and luckily my husband was discharged and we returned home for good .

They are still covering up!! There is no way it's was cleaned up on Dec. 30 1987. They have a Vapor Intrusion Study coming out in Aug. of 2024. Bet it will be after the law suite cut off date. All he needs is to be rated, he's having problems working to keep a roof over our heads. So sorry for everyone's pain. And the cover ups need to stop with them!!

I live near a Navy base in California. My dad worked as a civilian there in the 60s and found that they were dumping oil, chemicals, basically anything and everything into the ground. They were also transferring that stuff to sand dunes about a mile from the base. There were homes that were later built there that eventually had to be evacuated and torn down. It makes you wonder how many lives have been destroyed by our military. Not just in war but at home too. These women and so many more like them need to be acknowledged and compensated for lives lost and ruined. I send Peace and Love to all of Camp Lejeune victims. 💚

All the women who lost babies were treated abominably and without respect or care, but it really makes my blood boil that it seems as if the majority of black women were treated even worse. They lost infants, had miscarriages and stillbirths and there isn't even so much as a record of their babies' deaths. How inhumane. How can they be justly compensated when their babies were discarded like they didn't even ever exist or matter. Thrown away like garbage. It's beyond maddening and they deserve so, so much better. I'm bawling like a baby myself watching this, but seeing these women united in their pain, I'm certain that it gives them strength. I know that no amount of money can alleviate their decades of suffering and callous treatment, but I hope that they can get the apologies and compensation they so rightly deserve and can one day find some semblance of peace. 💔🙏🌹🕊❤‍🩹

@eyeswideopen3304 7 ай бұрын
so why is it that the air force could not have filtered the drinking water in an appropriate manner....the following question/answer from EPA dot gov: Is it possible to filter PFAS from water? One common method for treating drinking water is Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). This method is used by many public water utilities because it is highly effective at removing a range of drinking water contaminants, including some PFAS......it is possible so why did they NOT do it....almost like the poisonings were quite deliberate, somehow these chemicals made their way in drinking water, they were aware, people were being harmed, and yet were not even informed, they took no steps to rectify only coverup.

As the sister of a Marine who was stationed at Camp LeJeune, I am literally sick to my stomach right now. I want to address all my sister military wives, had we been given orders to Camp Lejeune instead of NAS/JAX ~This could have easily been our story. We are taught as military wives to support & not to question our husbands commanding officers. They could literally get reprimanded if we did. So we are left to trust the very ones who were intentionally lying about our safety at home while our husbands gave their very FREEDOM to protect everyone back home. TRULY SHAMEFUL. PEOPLE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!! Suing may help financially, especially to the lawyers who take more then they should..

Developing fetus’ are often hypersensitive to such toxins, especially during certain organ development early on. The earlier the exposure, the more systems are affected. Like for the adults, the children exposed (in utero &/or during childhood) have a significant risk of developing certain cancers. No one escapes the toxic exposure, it just doesn’t manifest itself so obviously but health conditions other than cancer are possible.

My dad was stationed at Lejeune 2 separate times between 1957-68, we lived first at Tarawa Terrace and then in Berkeley Manor. My youngest brother was a year old the first time we lived there and ended up dying of leukemia when he was 11. We think now that he was susceptible to the toxins because his immune system had not yet fully developed when we first lived there. My parents continued to live in the Jacksonville area after my dad's retirement so they were aware of the "possibility" of the water being responsible for my brother's death. I'll never forget the tears in my dad's eyes when he realized what caused the leukemia...he felt guilty for having his family live on base.

Stop blaming people and treating people badly for something they have/had nothing to do with , are not responsible for and are not to blame for . You shouldnt have been treated badly or the way you were treated and continue to be treated by your country , your government , it was wrong and it is wrong , the responsibility , blame and anger belongs there .

My Husband’s Father was a Marine for 22 years and they was stationed there from 1973-1977 and my Husband was one of 4 children and he was the only one born there but , his Mom had a couple miscarriages thee and had so , many serious health issues until she passed last year. My husband and one of his Brothers suffer from a very rare blood clot disease the Doctors cannot find out what the cause is . His Parents dealt with a host of serious health issues and it’s so , heartbreaking to hear all these stories of what these precious people had to endure is absolutely maddening. My heart ❤️ truly goes out to them . They’ll never admit what they done , a huge coverup !

Toxic chemicals were dumped on the flightline at MCAS(H) New River everyday. We didn't wear gloves or respirators. I had a miscarriage there, but know filing a claim will only stir up painful memories without any resolution. 💔 My heart hurts beyond words for all the families and fellow Marines.

What an appalling and heartbreaking episode in our history. I think of these mothers living with their grief and guilt (for circumstances beyond their control), and I think of the authoritarian military system and the military men of rank who failed to protect and defend the soldiers in their charge and their families for decades. These men of rank were protected by privilege and power. And silence. I’m grateful for every person named (and unnamed) who fought for accountability and justice for so many decades. I can’t help but wonder about their failure to defend unborn life, or to defend a woman’s right to prenatal care. Are these same men and men like them now criminalizing a woman’s right to life-saving reproductive care? Are they demanding a woman carry a dead or unviable fetus to term in the name of the sanctity of life regardless of the threat to the mother’s own life? Clearly, these mothers and their children weren’t protected. What does it say that white babies’ graves were marked while black babies were ‘never recorded’? Racism. Misogyny. Power. Privilege. We have to listen and to work for justice as these heroes did. It’s work we can’t do without the tools of democracy.

God i wish i could give Jeri a huge hug. Her experience with her pregnancy is just horrific. Its cruel and barbaric of a US defence force to continue something they knew full well was not going to end well. I say that about the US forces but ive no doubt my country is guilty of atrocities of sorts also.😡 Our veterans and familys regardless of nationality deserve so much better

I served at Camp Lejeune the entire year of 1975 (January thru December) and remember complaining to my NCO that the water from the drinking fountain tasted bad. The southern corporal knowing that I came from Detroit, Michigan replied "that's because you're used to Yankee water".
