U.S. soldier receives rare double arm transplant

9. Imperil them without a clear and necessary purpose is something that should never happen.

Yet, they have the courage to do what many do not have the courage or health to do.
And to those that were drafted, they faced what this country called them to do.
These men and women have/are giving their all. To that I say make sure that when they come back, be it of an errand of great importance to a fools errand as we have seen of late, they need everything we can offer.

I have seen vets on these streets that have lost limbs, some lost them in past wars. I have seen where they have lost a part of their souls. They have so many needs from physical to mental, yet no help. I have seen many with dreams that they put on hold due to either the draft (yes, those vets still need help) or due to the recruiter telling them how it will help them with their dreams. Men and women alike.

When I see anything that is trying to do something, as this story, it gives me hope that their is something still trying to work for them. The VA can't do as much as they want due to Congress holding the purse strings. And helping the American Solder seems to drop off their list of need faster that the need of the poor in general.

We can yell and scream about the 20/20 sight of the past all day. We can point at the Conservatives and they will point at us due to President Obama not/can't just dump everything. These people need us to help now. We need to cheer at what victories they can get off the battlefield. We need to help however we can. Even if it is just sitting down and talking with them, donating to the VA for their homeless vet projects, just don't forget them.
