Edited to add a synopsis:

This article tells the details about the "LeJeune cluster" young men who were, in many cases, born, raised, or lived for many years at Camp LeJeune who suddenly are getting breast cancer at very young ages - their 30s - the average age for men is their 70s.

    Wow, I lived in Woburn Massachusetts for a few years as a child... I remember how nasty the water was, my mother would mask the nasty smell with kool aid, and she complained about how she could never get the clothes clean, detergent would make the water turn brown in the washer.  

    The little boy across the street, five years old, had leukemia.  One of my good friends from junior high school died at 14 from leukemia.  And my middle school best friend's older brother, died at 40 from cancer.  

    I only lived there for four years... but wow!  Terrible stories out of there, I really feel for these people at Camp Lejeune....
