The one thing we HAVE to do as a nation is not fall into the belief that our nations soldiers are an expendable commodity. (This is more likely to happen with our nations leaders than it is for the general population.) Yes, they volunteer for duty, and are then at the disposal (not literally, though) of our military's leaders. They can and do occasionally get put in harms way. It's a risk they all knowingly take. However, when they are wounded, or worse, maimed for life, we OWE it to them to see that they receive the best care available and are rehabilitated to re-enter society as productive civilians. If they aren't able to work, they deserve adequate compensation for the remainder of their life. What gets lost sometimes is the notion that these men and women are human beings with lives and families and dreams and ambitions. When they get sidetracked with a serious injury, they need to get treated so they can resume some sense of normalcy as soon as possible. What's compounding the situation is the volume of casualties coming back from Iraq. People aren't just getting bullet and shrapnel wounds. With all the IED's detonating on the streets of Iraq, the injuries are more severe and the military hospitals are getting overwhelmed. Hopefully, with all the press this issue has been getting lately, and with the firing of the commanding general at Walter Reed, we'll see some improvement in the treatment of our soldier heros. God bless our troops.
:birthday: Bad Little Doggie Leah Marie! btw,congrats to your nephew on all of his achievements! Much love, Kevin and Ca
Very sad indeed about the deplorable conditions at Walter Reed..Newsflash... dispicable conditions at hospitals are not limited to Veterans Hospitals...
In defense of the Veterans Administration, I can vouch for the outstanding facilites at the Bay Pine Hospital in St Pete FLA..
My sweet Kevin has something like 11 or 12 years service under his belt....He is a Viet Nam era Vet..Signed up to serve the day he turned 17 ( by then the draft was defunct) and served 2 years (thankfully stateside) in the Army. It seemed one of the big shots took a liking to him and made him his personal chaffeur, I believe he remained stationed in Georgia his entire 2 years.
He spent another 9 or 10 as a Reservist in both Michigan and Connecticut, while our children were young.
As we were so strapped with Heather's medical bills, Kevin decided to take advantage of his status, goes to Bay Pines simply for his annual physical.
That being said, they treat him like King and pamper him like I do for the few hours he does spend there.
I posted this before, there are a lot of lonely, broken men and women at our Veterans Hospitals...Please do not wait for the Govt to care for OUR Veterans...The brave men and women who risked it all...
Something as simple as a batch of home-baked cookies or just stopping by to visit / volunteer a few hours is always appreciated .
Freedom belongs to those who serve....Ca

Believing they can hardly help.
