The Wall. These folks are from my generation. The names of two close friends which I served with have their names on this wall. There are others who I knew or crossed paths with whose names are on the wall.
Many movies have been made on the treatment of our Veterans. Born on the Fourth of July, Forrest Gump has V.A. Hospital segments. The list goes on.
Since my era of military service and my time spent in a wheelchair for a number of years there have been additional places on the globe where our military have been deployed. With each new conflict the technology advances and our troops are expected to know more and perform at a higher level of proficiency for longer periods of time. When those who come home finally do come home their treatment has not advanced since the days I was in the military. Not advanced? Medically perhaps but treatment as a human being who has sacrificed so much for their country.
I have a very good friend who wrote me today about his treatment by his local V.A. facility. I will copy and paste his writing here and copy and paste my own response:
I just sent this to FOX 24 News
At the the V.A. Hospital in Dublin Georgia they treat you like you are bothering them ,they are very rude and disrespectful.
