Burr is a republicon from North Carolina. He has put a hold on Major Tammy Duckworth's appointment to the V.A. Duckworth lost both legs and part of an arm in Iraq in 2004, when the chopper she was flying was hit by a rocket propelled grenade. Burr, who seems to think she's the wrong kind or war hero, says he has a lot of questions about Major Duckworth's nomination.
Even if he's not your senator, he needs to know people ae paying attention. If you would like to let Senator Burr know how you feel about this here's a link

In the army we had a word for what senator Burr is doing to Tammy Duckworth. That word was chickenshit. He needs to grow up and knock off the chickenshit games he is playing with Ms Duckworth's nomination What he's doing is a slap at all veterans. We will remember it.
