1. There are over 30,000 disabled and injured due to this war
it's important to mention them as well, and keep them in mind.

They will be with us all of our lives, and theirs, and there is ot enough out rage publicly about this carnage.

If only more families would speak out.

2. The VA hospital system
is full of awful stories such as this. I remember having a ward of 8 total care patients on a shift, none of whom ever had the first visitor. So many were just dumped and forgotten by everyone who was supposed to care. :cry:
