even have to worry about having their energy cut off. A Civilized country would provide homes for all veterans. There should never be a homeless veteran in this country.

Cheney and the rest of the war criminals used the vets to promote their wars. Anyone who ever thought they cared one bit about the troops, needs their head examined.

What a sad story. What an indictment on this war mongering nation we live in.

RIP Soldier
