An added thought: this time I will not stand quietly by while the men and women who gave up an arm or a leg, an eye or their sanity in fighting this war get shuffled through mediocre health care facilities or worse tossed out on the street to roam sick and homeless.

Funds for veterans are being cut as we create new veterans in this war. Who the hell is going to take care of these people? Who is going to see to it that they receive the best care and are not left to their own devices to fight a government bureaucracy and miles of red tape?

A tax cut? Bullshit! Guarantee them medical care for life. And give the same to the veterans of the Gulf War who suffer from the non-existant "Gulf War Syndrome". I have personally spoken with some who are sick, homeless, and in total despair.

So wave your flags, tie up your yellow ribbons but make damn sure you are willing to be there when the glory days are over and there are sick, wounded, mentally ill people to care for.

Norton1 - I do support out troops. I am angry at our government for using them and then throwing them away. I pray that your daughter will come home safe and whole and healthy.
