April 1, 2009, 8:44pm (report abuse)We as a nation have let down our disabled veterans and forced most of them into poverty and despair. God Bless our Vets. We need to do what is right by them as they have given there lives, blood and health for us. We need to inspire today’s military age men and women to serve. If they see what we have done with our Veterans there will be no hope of inspiring any of them.

October 22, 2009, 5:35pm (report abuse)Being a disabled vet at 70% it always amazes me that when it comes to budget cuts we are one of the first to see it.It seems that American only loves us when we as a country are in trouble and forget what we have sacrificed. Vets, military personnel, families, and the American people ought to stand up and tell our government to stop the BS and take care of our VET's

November 17, 2009, 3:10pm (report abuse)I agree with many of you who have posted comments regarding the way America treats it's Veterans. Politicians are only concern with what they can receive back. America is in a dangerous downward spiral and it's because of GREED. The hypocrites that appears on media outlets daily (politicans)are the ones who are ruining this country. The National Debt is so staggering, it is beyond comprehension as to how America will ever get financial stability. Think about it...the last time America had zero (0) national debt was in 1845! When China decides to stop lending money to the U.S., all chaos will break loose.
