> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget
27 August 2005, 02:03
I am a combat Marine from Khe Sahn 1968 and there have not been too many days in recent years that I have not shed tears for the losses in Vietnam and the unfairness dealt to the Marines around me that had my back and got me home.
What this administration is doing to the Veterans Administration is despicable. The V.A. Health Care System is by far the best in the nation. Rather than fully fund the V. A. our president prefers to sqeeze the V. A. at the expense of the Veterans. Rather than pay the bill our government is creating every way possible to cut and totally do away with our benifits. IT IS HAPPENING NOW! The two billion dollar short fall for 2006 will come from the blood of the Veteran rather than just proper appropriation from our congress.
I hurts me deeply the images of tens of thousands of dead and severly mutilated Veterans coming home today to a government who does not RECOGNIZE their sacrifice and is not willing to do what is simply right.
Please tell me what I can do In Asheville, NC? It is not enough for me to be angry and hurt any longer.
