Over the years I've met really remarkable people truly dedicated to the veterans of this nation spending countless hours behind the scenes because it was the right thing to do, but I've also met some people with their own personal agenda trying to either get publicity or financial gain. They could do anything they wanted to do in life and then answer to God for it afterward but to take advantage of veterans is beyond despicable. Veterans have enough problems and face too many obstacles before they receive what they are supposed to be compensated for without having someone think they are just someone else to use.

An Atlanta woman and her ex-boyfriend were convicted Thursday for using her job at the Atlanta VA Medical Center to defraud the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Bridgette L. Davidson, 37, a social worker responsible with placing disabled and military veterans in suitable homes, illegally used her connections to earn money from the tenants, according to U.S. Attorney David Nahmias.
From November 2001 to April 2002, she placed veterans in need of housing in a Marietta home she rented with Darrick O. Frazier, 33, and took federal subsidy payments, a conflict of interest, Department of Justice officials said. During this time, Davidson falsely represented to the VA and to the veterans that the home was independently owned, Nahmias said.
