OH MY, A YOUNG VET RETURNS HOME FROM WAR…HE IS MENTALLY RUINED, HURT, DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR BECAUSE OF WHAT HE SAW AND HAD TO DO. CRAWLING IN A TUNNEL WITH SNAKES, SPIDERS, ENEMY NOT MY IDEA OF WAR, BUT THAT IS THE WAY IT WAS. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THESE KIDS ENDURE OR HOW IT CAN AFFECT THEM. AT LEAST THE OUTSIDE DAMAGE CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF THE INSIDE DAMAGE LIVES ON FOR EVER. THE FAMILY OF THIS NOW DAMAGED SOLDIER STICKS BY HIM, DOES ALL THEY CAN FOR HIM, HELPS HIM FIGHT THE VA FOR CARE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE TRUST OR FIGHT IN HIM TO DO IT FOR HIMSELF.MOST AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW EVERY VET THAT IS GETTING CARE AT A VA FACILITY HAS HAD TO FIGHT FOR EVERY LITTLE BIT THEY GET. GEE, SO THEY ARE NOT YOUR NORMAL HOSPITAL PATIENT THEIR NEEDS ARE NOT ONLY PHYSICAL BUT HAS SO MUCH TO DO WITH NOT TRUSTING THE PEOPLE GIVING THE CARE. THE WIFEOR HUSBAND OF A MENTALLY WOUNDED VET SPEND MUCH TIME TRYING TO KEEP THIER HEADS ABOVE THE DEPRESSION AND NEGATIVEITY. THANK GOD FOR PROGRAMS SUCH AS TRI CARE AND CHAMPVA TO HELP TAKE CARE OF THE SPOUSES HEALTH NEEDS. MOST OF THESE SPOUSES WEATHER THE VET IS MENTAL, OR PHYSICALLY 100% DISABLED ARE UNABLE TO WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME FOR A VAST NUMBER OF RESONS. LET US NOT FORGET THE WORK THEY PUT IN HELPING THE VET COPE WITH EVERYDAY LIFE, JUST GETTING OUT OF BED FOR SOME IS A REAL CHALLENGE, BUT THE SPOUSE IS THERE 24-7 TO HELP. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO CARE FOR VETRANS AND THIER SPOUSES. THEY DESERVE EVERY BIT THEY GET AND WE AS PROUD AMERICANS SHOULD SHAME OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS INTO THINKING OF THESE PEOPLE WHEN THEY GIVE FORIEGN AIDE, GIVE THEMSELVES RAISES..ARE THEY WILLING TO REALLY SERVE OUR COUNTRY..I THINK NOT CON GRESS AND HOR’S SHOULD GET 10 LASHES WITH A WET NOODLE EVERYTIME THEY VOTE AGAISNT THE VETRANS!!!!!!!!!!!! awcdkm@hotmail.com
