Veterans Day

[KRC1959]

It is a shame that even though this forum is for people, including me, that no one has even brought up that it is Veterans day. Because most of us, not all, are in a drug induced haze, or detoxing or clean, We forget that a lot of our fellow Americans are out there and have been for 100s of years fighting for us, so we could could be in a country like the USA and get doped up if we want. I am a veteran of the United States Navy and served on an Aircraft Carrier for 4 years, so all of you could sleep peacefully at night and go on being happy on your pills, and not worrying that someone is going to come here and take away your freedom....... But hey, I understand.                      JayDean

i respect your feelings about it.  but just consider yourself lucky, because you know what i am talking about........you've seen your Gov.  has done, probably to people  you know well, and I know you just know................I think i make my point.  if I can lock up the whole forum on this subject, but, of course, I wont.  My blood pressure is off the hook right now so we will just leave it at that.  But, the fact that I am speaking with a little knowledge of this subject i need go any further........you know what i am saying.  Just thinking about those guys in Iraq right now and were crying about withdrawals.........Imagaine what they are feeling..........oh, i have to shut up now.............

I see the other side.  My husband is a 100% diabled vet, and quite honestly, we feel they have taken very good care of him.

It sucks that he is in pain everyday of his life, but they take good care of us as a family.  Medical coverage, monthly disability payments, three of my four children are in college-all being paid for by the government, and even my recent education was completely paid for because of his injury.  

I know there are people out there that have had it rough with the VA, but I for one am eternaly grateful for all they do for my husband and my family.  I know that if he had been hurt in the private sector, the benefits would not be nearly as comprehensive.  I know this because my father had the same sort of injury, and no one was looking out for him.

Sorry naughty, not trying to pick a fight, just have to give a different perspective on the issue.

I do appreciate what the VA does for our soldiers.  And I appreciate what our soldiers do for us everyday!

I respect each and everyone of these young souls.  I do thank them and then tell them how sorry i am.  I have never had anyone upset with me for that.  I lost someone very close to me......not even 20 years old.  If I could take his place i would.  God Bless you Jacob............<3

oh, and don't forget all the speed and anxiety pills the government is pumping into these guys so they can perform 48 hour shifts, and when they get back with no limbs, disease, post tramatic stress and the Gov.  turns there back on them.  We should be so proud.  It makes me sick and want to cry.   Very touchy subject for me.

Be sure to thank a Veteran for the right to speak your opinion about the President.  

I am sure grateful to those that serve!  Freedom is not free.
