The Greater Greensboro Triad area of NC's network

[Mary Blakely]

My name is Mary Blakely and I live in Pleasant Garden area,just outside of Greensboro NC. My Doc asked me the other day if I had spoke with any other Lejeune,forgive my use of this term,Lab-Rats that lived in my area? I told him that I was part of this illustrious organization called ,"The Few The Proud The Forgotten",but I hadn't had the honor of meeting anybody from my part of the state.I thought to myself,"Well why not", and since I didn't have an answer, I decided to reach out.So that is what I am doing now...Hello,..is anybody out there?No really,I'm not a "Nut" as Barny would say on Andy Griffith.Is there anybody in my area that reads this?If so,Say"Hello!" I'll say Hello back.

Hi There,

I have lived up here since 2007. I was stationed at Camp LeJeune in 1970. I found out about the water contamination through the magazine "Leatherneck". I was shocked at the article.

I have had bi-lateral macsectomies, total hysterectomy, growth cut out of my throat and nodules popping up in my lungs. I received my VA health benefits back in 2009 and they have been a blessing. I go to the VA in Durham. The doctors there are wonderful and I thank God each day that I got the health benefits.

I am stunned that the Corps will not take responsibility for what has happened to all of us poisoned at Camp LeJeune. I can not even begin to comprehend the pain and suffering of all those families who have actually lost someone because of the contaminated water. To think the Corps is in denial and not fessing up to what they did to their own. It DOES NOT take a rocket scientist to know that the chemicals found in the water are very dangerous to humans and OF COURSE causes all sorts of illnesses and even death. Com'on guys, God gave each of you a brain...............................USE IT and HELP US!!

Peace and Everything Good To You
