Veteran's Day: Not Just One Day, But For Life
Prompt: What are your impressions of the Veteran’sday? Do you think we are honoring our veterans the way they truly deserve?]








I think it is all well and good that we non-veteran citizens support our current military and veterans. However, it would be preferable if the Federal Government which has assigned military to combat and to peacetime stations more extensively supported servicepersons, present and past, with health care, benefits, employment, housing, and other necessities.





I read an article yesterday on the ways in which Agent Orange is still impacting, both in the U.S. and also in Vietnam, soldiers, children, grandchildren. Insufficient research and insufficient funds have been directed to combating the diseases caused by dioxin (Agent Orange) and I think the Federal Government should do much more on this crucial situation. The service of the parents is being visited with disease on their children and grandchildren, who had not themselves been exposed.
