Totally true, Cheryl; Only our WW II vets got a good deal. The rest, no. one reason, I suspect, is that since WW II we have never declared war, even though we have gone to war many times. And those non-war wars were all unpopular. Thus, the government wishes that the results of those wars on our citizens not be seen in the least.
I know so many of my classmates who went to Viet Nam, and they are still regarded as nut cases in people's minds. We shoal;d seek veterans out where we see them; listen to their stories and allow ourselves to suffer some of their needs for them. Wouldn't this be true witnessing and service for God?

I know a few that have stuck in there and received what was promised and deserved but i know even more that wont fight the system and suffer from their service. Im sure theres books written about it. I remember reading where one of the early presidents made the statement that anything spent of the peoples money above the security of the people was plundering. our generations have not only plundered the peoples money but have and are plundering the security! lol,,,wheres my soap-box,,,lemmie speak on this! be blessed. --- On Wed, 4/6/11, rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > From: rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: [TMIC] Chiropractic treatment > To: "john snodgrass" <jcs...@yahoo.com> > Cc: "tmic" <tmic-list@eskimo.com> > Date: Wednesday, April 6, 2011, 7:05 PM > > John, > This happens to a lot of people.My son and son-in-law were both kicked out > of the service (both honorable discharges. > After a long fight my son-in-law finally got partial disability. > My sister's son-in-law fought in Iraq and had a back injury;he gets 10% > disability!
