Being a former Marine who served four years to defend this county freedom, I am saddened by what is happening in Camp Lejeune. Camp Lejeune is the second largest Marine Corps base and it is located in North Carolina. The drink water is full of dangerous chemicals that are casing physicals and psychological defects in children and adults. This is effect people of all racial and ethnic background. Its water wells were tainted with cancer-causing industrial compounds for 30 years, ending in 1987. The government has estimated that 500,000 to 1 million people who live on the base and around that been using contaminated water to drank, bathed and cooked with.  Camp Lejeune's population is believed the largest ever exposed to the solvents at such high levels. The Environmental Protection Agency is overseeing cleanups at more than 150 military installations polluted by the same chemicals. Drinking water usually was unaffected, but underground contamination migrated to surrounding neighborhoods and wells at some sites. This is terrible because we can see that the Department of Defends does care about the safety of Marines and their family. This has been going on for over 30 years.
