Question

"Spina bifida. Asperger's syndrome. Tourette's. Bipolar disorder. Organic brain dysfunction. These are just a few of the diseases William McMurray Jr. suffers from, ailments he says his doctors couldn't explain for the first 20 years of his life -- until they learned of water contamination aboard Camp Lejeune.

His is but one story in what many call the greatest case of contamination in U.S. history. A million Marines, sailors and their families drank, bathed, brushed their teeth, cooked, swam and washed their cars, clothes, dishes and pets in bad water at Lejeune for decades."

And no one was charged (criminally) with hiding the facts.....disgusting. I lived there during the time periods established....up until a year ago I also fished at Henderson Pond on Lejeune...now they have warning signs all over with fencing around much of the area around the pond because of contamination - wonder how long they knew about the contamination around the pond where people fished.
