A good friend sent me a package today... [View all]
It had some little things one needs out on the street in it. Two of these things were a scarf and some gloves.
As I was coming down the street I saw a old Veteran that I have met a few times at the VA when I was with my ex. He was setting in the sun to warm up from a chilly night. He is a first Iraqi war vet and had some major issues with PTSD.
He has no coat, just a thin sweatshirt. I had no coat to give, but I did have the gloves and the scarf. I talked him into going to the VA to see if they had any coats in there Vet Closet. Or at least get some heaver sweats.
This is just one of the many scenes one sees everyday. To many of those that fought for our country are now begging in the streets. Many of them suffer from mental distress.
When one sees all this fighting in the House and Senate, one wonders, "Do they really know what is going on in real America? Do they really understand what pain so many are going through?"
The Conservative Republican's have been proving they don't.
