We are now definitely in the minority and sadly very few in Congress and the Executive have ever served. A lot of what we get is just lip service. This Army veteran can’t even buy guns in Virginia. My dad was Army in WW I and Armistice Day meant a lot to him. He was Navy in WW II and he belonged to the World War One Veterans, the VFW and the American Legion.
There was a national disgrace over the VA and veterans not getting medical care but has the problem really been fixed? Many were hurt by agent orange and our country turned its back on them. One regiment of my 4th Infantry Division was subjected to an atomic blast in a trench 1000 yards from ground zero with over-whites and gas masks & told they would be safe. Apparently a good number of them had come down with cancer and I don’t know what care they received.
