Camp LeJeune Families Act of 20 Update - A Note from Carolyn Boller, Sr. Caseworker & State Veterans Outreach for Sen. Mark E. Udall: "Veterans, I thought you might be interested in the law signed on August 6th---The ink is not yet dry on the law so there are many questions to be answered on the process--such as families are not yet covered, what happens if someone gets care and did not serve at Camp LeJeune. If you served at Camp Lejeune between 1957 and 1987 for at least 30 days, you may want to check with the Denver VA Medical Center. The Medical Center's have been advised of the signing of this new law." Click on the link for more information. [download more information]
