OLD MEN START WARS YOUNG MEN FIGHT THEM!
What the statement does not reveal is when young men and
women go to serve their country, the very people who sent them
into harms way reject and forget most. This habit started with
the treaty breaking with the Native Americans and only progressed.
No, no one recently has been sent to live on a reservation,
just a box on a street.
They will bog families of veterans down with paperwork and
computerized phone systems along with excuses and extended
waiting periods at the Medical Center and Regional offices that
are supposed to be serving them. Does anyone actually believe that
these new veterans will be treated any differently? Seriously?

http://groups.msn.com/UnitedVeteransofAmerica/whatsnewIt is so sad to see some of our older WWII Vets, and there are not many left. ,not only choosing between presription drugs but now just thrown away to evicition and some don't have family either. I never thought I would see the greatest generation be treated so badly. The Vietnam veterans are suffering so badly, no one can imagine. Did you know 110,000 died by their own hand after the war ended? Did you know that more than 70 percent are addicted or have been to substance abuse? Did you realize that more than half of homeless people are OUR NAtiON'S VETERANS? Did you know they are calling up THe Gulf War veterans? Did you realize that only you and I are the only outreach some of these people who have borne the battle have? Do you know what these helicopter fly overs are doing to our vets suffering from PTSD? They are sick. They are very sick. You can help !
I talked to Sen. Harkin back in 2000 and he a Navy VN vet corresponded with me after we met at the ADA 10th anniversary. He was disstraught about the Veteran situation. We are the patriots ! We are ! The people on the right will tear down people like Max Cleland, John Kerry and they even dare to shoot a Kerry sign out of acombat vet's yard. This madness has to stop. Please give what you can to help me help veterans. Please check in and visit where I was interviewed on C-Span regarding this small organization. I can't believe that many of the veterans cannot even get to their doctor's appointments without your help. In rural areas they just don't have the gas to get there. They are already sick and this war is making so many sicker. Thank you !
