Do You Really Support The Troops?

You may think that waving the flag and putting bumper stickers and magnetic ribbons on your vehicle helps our troops. It doesn't. If you really support our troops, and our veterans, show it by calling your Congressman/Congresswoman and demanding (don't ask, demand) that they support Jim Webb's improved GI Bill and full and mandatory funding for veterans health care.


Since only a small percentage of Americans have ever served in the armed forces during a time of war, most Americans have no idea of what our troops go through. So I would like for everyone to click on this link http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh289/Impish_Dragon/?action=view¤t=Untitled.flv and spend a few short minutes with the men and women who put their lives on the line every day. Then, after you have seen what our troops go through, I would like for you to contact your Senator and Representative, and demand they support the new GI Bill, and full and mandatory funding for veterans health care.

Reviewed by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner 6/3/2008
As the daughter of/sister of/niece of/cousin of Veterans, as well as an Air Force Veteran, myself, thank you - YES. Mandatory health care should be a given - GOOD, quality care - the kind the Congressmen and women, our Commander in Chief, receive FOR FREE - instead, we're left with the dregs, the castoffs - SHAME.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
