I did see it. Yes, I hate to say it, but I feel a pang these days when I hear someone say "Thanks for your service." Not that all vets do not deserve our respect. They certainly do. It's because of the situation with all of the problems they suffer in relation to their service.

O.K. My feeling is that, when someone drops everything else in their life - everything -- and answer the call, the government owes them. Period. My husband was drafted. He wasn't hung ho to go, but he just thought he wasn't any better than the next guy down the line at American Motorrs, or on the next farm down the road. He went. He did as he was ordered. And he thought that because he made it back in one piece, that it was all behind him and he could just get on with the rest of his life (same thing with my oldest brother - AO related cancer and amputation). But it wasn't over. For many vets, it will never be over, and the government needs to grow a pair, man up, and take care of these vets. These vets were responsible to our government and now they deserve the same in return - not the obstructionism so many receive.
