Just wanted to post my most sincere thanks to those who made the choice to defend our country, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us to remain a free country.
God Bless and keep you in his care now and for eternity.
(Personal Note: Nate, I still miss you all these years later. Thank you for your service to our country, but most of all for being the father I never had and the role model I needed at the point in my life when I could've chosen the wrong path. With much love, your adopted son.)
(PS - You know Charles, I'd love to sign this post, but you and I both know that there's one ASSHOLE on another blog who just couldn't stop himself from being an immature jerk and make fun of it. That jerk is the ultimate example of what members of our Armes Services are not.)
Anonymous Its ok if you dont sign your post the only thing that matters is whats in your heart and in the words you wrote.
Its wonderful to have someone you feel that way about, good for you and well done.
Thanks for sharing
Health Care Initiatives
Mental Health –
The VA reports that nearly 30% of the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who have sought VA medical care since separating from the military have exhibited potential symptoms of mental and emotional stress. Close to one-half of those have a possible diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Of equal concern was the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that a large percentage of Iraq War veterans whose Post-Deployment Survey responses indicated they were at risk of developing PTSD were not referred to Department of Defense or VA facilities for mental health screening and counseling (GAO Report, May 16, 2006).
Primary and Long-term Rehabilitative Care – While the VA has greatly increased the capacity and services of its nationwide health care system, many communities are under-served by VA programs. Many low-income veterans cannot afford health insurance, and many small and independent businesses do not offer health insurance coverage. These veterans and their families are one major medical problem removed from severe economic hardship that may, and often does, result in an increased risk of homelessness.
How many homeless veterans are there?

VETERAN HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PLATFORM
March 23, 2009
"With this budget, we ... dramatically improve services related to mental health and injuries like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury ... And we provide new help for homeless veterans, because those heroes have a home – it's the country they served, the United States of America. And until we reach a day when not a single veteran sleeps on our nation's streets, our work remains unfinished." President Barack Obama, March 16, 2009
PERSONALLY I WON'T HOLD MY BREATH.... MONEY FOR A 500 BED FACILITY WAS PASSED AND FUNDED IN CALIFORNIA IN 1998.
AT THIS TIME NO PLANS ARE IN MOTION TO BUILD THE FACILITY AND IN FRESNO COUNTY ALONE THERE ARE SOME 186 HOMELESS VETERANS SIGNED UP WAITING FOR HOUSING... FAR MORE HAVE GIVEN UP AND DON'T SIGN UP ANY MORE.
Thank to all who gave there life for us.
With that said m1tank is still attacking Charles on his blog he has to be the most pathetic person online. Even on Memorial Day weekend he has to show his hate.
You should be ashamed of yourself m1tank and you claim to be a Military man
Well at least this blog is respectful to the vets.
The hate is still on the other one, shame really that he cant take one day.
God Bless all the vets
And Donna my prayesr are with you and your friend Danny.

God Bless you and your family i know your children are also in the military.
