Veteran's Day

I cannot remember a year where we veterans were honored, as we were this year. I don't think that has happened since the 1940's and the armistice with both Japan and Germany. Why it happened this year, I have no idea.

There is a huge backlog of wounded vets from the last several years of war. This undeclared war has lasted way longer that either the first or second world war and maybe the total of the two.

While the administration brags about the "Choice" program, the funds have quietly been used up and not replaced. The VA system is overloaded and crashing since the politicians are bragging about the new programs, they neglect to tell us that none of these programs are currently funded.

In addition to these young warriors, there are those like me, age 79 that are dependent on ever increasing senior care and the problems that occur with age.

Thank you folks for your loyalty for us but we need more. Please contact your congressman or senator, or both and ask why these programs remain unfunded.

Here in Bayview, the Captain's Wheel Resort opened it's wallet to feed any veteran that wanted dinner, FREE. Folks that is a  huge cash drain, but they cheerfully did it anyway. Bless you, "Wheel."
