Now they notice the problem

Now they notice the problem, three years into the war. I think they should be spanked. How can you plan on getting all these people hurt and not plan on how to help them become happy and productive humans again?

"The number of disabled vets from all wars deemed "unemployable" by the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs tripled from 71,000 to 220,000 between 1996
and 2005. "

"About 18,000 military personnel have already been wounded in both
conflicts. And many injuries like posttraumatic stress disorder may not surface
until well after their homecomings."

Ok, where were the other 11, 1000 vets wounded then?

Say what you feel

Hey Valerie, I only check in here rarely, and just now see your beloved spouse is no more. I am really sad to hear that. I know you are a compassionate woman, and will understand that my condolences are sincere. You two sounded like a match made in heaven. I hope your memories of your life together comfort you.

love and warm thoughts from Italy

Thank you Cutter, for your kind words. I lost him in January and it's been hard to keep this site up with out him.

He was a vet, too.
