> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget

30 July 2005, 02:17

It is imperative that we all be as involved as possible this year at elections to support those Politicians that support the members of the military who have served faithfully and sacrificed much in the name of freedom. I have friends that are nurses working for agencies and are placed in different facilities....Veterans Hospitals, Correctional Facilities, etc. I am continually told they are paid more to work at Correctional Facilities, that the Veterans Hospitals are much less equipped with what they need to perform their care of Veterans and I really think that is a disgrace. Inmates at the Juvenile facilities brag about how they try to get to this facility or that facility in order to enjoy themselves with video games, work out rooms, etc. That’s where our tax money goes.A good stint in the Military would do far more to rehabilitate these kids, but I don’t know if they would be fit to trust.I would like to see more leadership that will refuse to mollycoddle the worthless and reward the deserving.I’m proud to be an American and revere the members of our Military who have served this country with honor and dedication.I support our Veterans as best I can through packages to anysoldier.com and send at least one a week.
Please know how much you all are appreciated.
