Updated w Link:Camp LeJeune water contamination report Lists 15 medical conditions the Va will cover
for Marines and their families who lived there for more than 30 days between 1957 and 1987.
We were there from 64 - 67. Dad died from one of the 15 back in 1988, mom died from one last August. We wondered how she developed myleodysplastic as nothing in her history seemed to fit known risks, then - boom! Yesterday I rcvd the list from the Marines, and there it was.
