Veterans Cancer May Be Tied To Marine Base
"
CBS) — Former Marine Rick Derrig of northwest suburban Huntley says he’s disappointed in his government.
"The 62-year-old cancer patient learned he drank contaminated water for years on a U.S military base in North Carolina.
"He was based at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville during a time when it had highly contaminated, cancer-causing drinking water. Making matters worse, Derrig tells 2 Investigator Dave Savini, no one from the Department of Defense told him about his exposure to the tainted wells.
~~snip~~
"The military says about 900,000 service members were potentially exposed to the danger. As many as 700,000 may not even know about it."

there is a list of what these service people may have contracted from this contaminated well:
bladder, liver, kidney cancer, leukemia, Parkinson's, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
how many suffered and died, never knowing why they had developed these cancers or diseases?
