Will Winn Dixie Honor The Other Veterans Too?

UPDATE

Southeastern Grocers, which owns Winn-Dixie, Harveys and BI-LO, raised $3,044,091.38.

The money was raised with donations made between July 1 and July 5, plus all profits earned from sales on July 4 at the three supermarket chains. The donations were collected across Southeastern Grocers' nearly 790 stores.

And now at least you know what they think of the other veterans left out of all of this.

I went searching to find out how much Winn Dixie donated from their July 4th sales. No information yet on that yet.

While searching I started to wonder more and more about the one question no one seems willing to answer. What about the others? What about all those other over 20 million veterans?

Winn-Dixie is extremely proud to announce that on Saturday, July 4th, every cent of every dollar of profit generated at every Winn-Dixie store, will go to Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP). Every last cent.

Wounded Warrior Project® helps our servicemen and women who have given the United States of America everything they have, to defend our freedom.

As many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war, including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment.

So what about all the others who also have "given the United States of America everything they have, to defend our freedom?" Guess they just kindof sortof forgot to mention that those numbers are OEF and OIF but millions more were forgotten about.

It is great to talk about PTSD but is sucks to leave out the veterans responsible for getting everything ready for all generations coming home from combat.

The number of Veterans with PTSD varies by service era:

Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Enduring Freedom (OEF): About 11-20 out of every 100 Veterans (or between 11-20%) who served in OIF or OEF have PTSD in a given year.

Gulf War (Desert Storm): About 12 out of every 100 Gulf War Veterans (or 12%) have PTSD in a given year.

Vietnam War: About 15 out of every 100 Vietnam Veterans (or 15%) were currently diagnosed with PTSD at the time of the most recent study in the late 1980s, the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS). It is estimated that about 30 out of every 100 (or 30%) of Vietnam Veterans have had PTSD in their lifetime.

Those veterans, have all been forgotten about in all of this. Yes, Vietnam veterans are not included in this "honor" even though they came home with the same exact wounds the post 9-11 veterans come home with.  No different than WWII veterans still alive and forgotten.  Korean veterans, still alive and forgotten. Gulf War veterans, still alive and forgotten.

The trouble is, they all deserved better than to be forgotten about as if they never mattered at all.

Will Winn Dixie do the same for them?
