Use my work but don't just take it as your's

Note to anyone wanting to use my work:

Everything I do is out there for free. My research and my videos are there to share so that we can help as many veterans as possible along with their families. The least you can do since I work so hard is to credit that work back to me if you use it!!

The below are from one of my videos Wounded and Waiting.




This is not to say that a few, VERY FEW, Veterans do not scam the VA. However, their numbers are so insignificant to make Breed, Hefling, and the Associate Press appear to be more FOOLISH than Journalists.
Lastly, both AP reporters not only appear to be in violation of the Associated Press Statement of Principles and Journalistic Integrity, but AP owes America’s Veterans an apology for publishing such an opinionated piece based on lame to little evidence. The article needs to be retracted of published as an opinion piece NOT NEWS.

We at Veterans Today News believe that such opinions held by representatives of the Associated Press reflects an instigation and spreading of rumors that betrays our troops in the field by belittling PTSD, and harms the reputation of AP as being a reliable source for NEWS.
Veterans for Common Sense (VCS) has asked AP to retract the article, and we ask that other Veterans Service Organizations join VCS and Veterans Today News Network in condemning this story as news and asking AP to better educate and monitor their journalists on the difference between writing opinion pieces and reporting NEWS.

UPDATE:
I emailed Veterans Today and fast work was done there on this. I received an email back letting me know that my work was credited. BRAVO Veterans Today John Allen, General Manager.
