Take action for our veterans


Veterans Day is tomorrow. One day for us to think of them and most of us don't. We know more about OJ being charged and Britney's problems than we do about what our veterans go through everyday of the year. Do something for them. Watch the videos I've put together for over a year. Open your minds and your hearts as you watch them. Wonder how you would feel if you were one of them. When you are done watching, think about what you can do to make coming home for them better in your own community. Then think about what you can do nationally. Write to your local officials.

Most states do not even have homeless shelters for veterans. Worse is that most do not even know how many homeless veterans they have. Begin to ask questions. Ask how many combat veterans your city has. As how many wounded; how many disabled;how many from Iraq and Afghanistan; how many from the Gulf War; how many from Vietnam; how many from other smaller conflicts like Bosnia, Somalia. Don't take "I don't know" for an answer. If you get that kind of response, ask them how long it will take for them to find out. If all else fails, write to your local paper and call your local news station.

Much of what is going on in this country is not that people do not care. It is because no one has informed their conscience about any of it. There are major problems across this country. It's time for us to take action for them or the government will not.
