Man this is very bad But Im sorry to say this but here it goes........
I started a petition with www.change.org for soldiers with P.T.S.D. I had this up for over 6 months thinking Americans would jump at the chance to help our vets when they need it most. I was wrong! Im very disappointed in how little support our troops really get. in 6 months I asked for 250,000 signatures I needed 10 just to make it to the internet mainstream for all the world to sign.
I got my 10 then it went mainstream! As I waited and waited and waited in 6 months plus only 23 people signed my petition. I even posted it under a banner on someones page with a yellow ribbon saying " Support the Troops" her reply " I did not want to give out my information" I was F'N pissed !!! I left this petition up until time ran out here's the link
Help our veterans with (PTSD)
www.change.org [link:Help our veterans with (PTSD) |there is a silver lining here though, 23 petitions went to Washington DC to the Veterans hospitals and Government buildings for helping these vets.
Bottom line this is proof that people just wave the flag buy stickers and magnets and speak hollow words saying "support the troops" but when it comes to really, really helping these men they only turn their backs on them.
One more thing, I don't support what these men are doing over seas, I don't support the wars, I will only support our troops when they come home because when our Government and Va Hospitals deny them the help they promised the troops telling them you don't have physical wounds so you don't need help. Well, this is where I step in. These are AMERICANS and our Government promised them everything only to treat them like garbage.
I want to say, WELCOME Home Troops, and I will continue to fight for you in your behalf to end your P.T.S.D. a nightmare without help, you will never awaken from.
your friend, Jim Martz
