Our heroes deserve more than a parade, picnic and a wreath laid at a memorial in Arlington. They deserve the best of our nation's bounty not crumbs and bureaucratic red tape. It is a national disgrace when pork barrel projects and bridges to nowhere take precedence over giving them their due. A veteran 60, 70, 80% or more disabled diserves more than just to live a smidge above the poverty line. A child who lost a father or mother deserves the best shot at living out the hopes and dreams that the fallen parent had for the child.
Rarely a day goes by that I do not come in contact with a veteran. I am outraged how budgets continue to cut their benefits that adversely affect their health, and overall standard of life. Above all else our veterans, their families and those still in service should be the ones on the top of the list....above all else.
I shall not forget. I owe the privilege to live in this country only to our military men and women who have sacrificed it all. As a mother, I owe so very much to those mama's who sent and continue to send their babies into what is most assuredly war.
