I just recently learned of Superfund sites and hazards associated with all the sites I've been stationed. It sure explains a lot of the suffering my children & I have experienced.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992814490057735966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171309436396583783.post-68040769200156121332014-10-08T19:15:48.575-07:002014-10-08T19:15:48.575-07:00Frank, thank you for sharing information about Geo...Frank, thank you for sharing information about George AFB, CA.

Yes!<br /><br />Some people have asked why it is taking so long to get help for the families of George AFB. My response is that the DOD is a formidable opponent with virtually unlimited resources.<br /><br />At some point, senior management within the DOD made a decision that it was more important to cover up the problem at its contaminated bases than help the American Citizens that it harmed. When the decision was made to cover up the problem, the DOD created a classic “Us vs. Them” dynamic. This dynamic automatically makes anyone trying to expose the problem a threat, and creates a moral dilemma for the DOD employees: “Where does my allegiance lie, with my Oath of Enlistment or Oath of Office, or my paycheck and pension?”<br /><br />The DOD’s Modus Operandi (M.O.) – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC<br /><br />To understand what those who are trying to expose the cover-up are up against, look at what was done at Camp Lejeune. The DOD lied to the public and local, state, and federal regulators and congress; withheld records; covered-up deaths that were the result of the contamination at Camp Lejeune; and forced the ATSDR to suppress information about the contamination, health problems, and deaths which were the direct result of the contamination at Camp Lejeune. ...<br /><br />Frank Vera<br />http://www.georgeafb.info/Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965568764352574781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171309436396583783.post-18284602199009956232014-10-06T00:39:21.912-07:002014-10-06T00:39:21.912-07:00Difficult but beautiful post to share.

I don't know why my babies died, but I am glad you found the reason for your loss. You have beautiful children, both here and in Heaven.
