This situation and many like this, hits close to my heart. I'm a United States Air Force Veteran. I'm disabled and have come awfully close to being homeless.
My first thought, when I see my fellow vets in situations like this, is why? My second thought is we are owed more than having to live under a bridge and eating out of Red Lobster or Bob Evans trash bins.
I regret saying this but, I believe that our government didn't think that so many Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen would come back alive, this is why they're now scrambling around trying to find a solution to help these people.
There's only one honor I believe our government should receive, when it comes to our vets, no, not the Purple Heart or anything as distinguished as that. No, they should receive the lowest dishonor we can think of --
The Weenie Medal of Dishonor -- the badge of shame.
**To all my fellow vets, I salute you for courage and weep for your pain.**
