Today, I was in Madison hearing from Wisconsin veterans about what’s at stake if the Trump administration makes good on their promise to fire 83,000 VA employees .

Feeling extra sad right now. Just lost my uncle yesterday, who was a Vietnam Vet. He and my aunt were never able to really access the care he needed and she spent the last 4 years caring for him and nearly breaking herself. I also talked with a lot of Vietnam vets over this Memorial day weekend with some sad stories. Honestly, I knew my uncle wasn't doing well with his PACT act approved illness (Parkinson's, diabetes, ultimately dementia or other memory loss). Had just been hoping for a miracle. He was a very good man. 
I will miss him a lot. 
Thanks for listening.
