We need to take care of our veterans when they get home. There are way to many homeless vets today. These people are heroes, none of them should have to live on the streets.
I just got back from the reintegration of the 34th National Guard back into Minnesota. They spent 23 months away from home. We in processed over 4500 in less then 2 weeks. We completed VA health care applications, VA dental and interviewed each soldier in regards to injuries, health concerns, dental issues, school, mental issues, etc. Then we gave them contact info for their local veteran service officer. We also then sent the service officer their info. 100% compliance.
First time in the history of service this has happened. Pretty awesome to see these men and women return.
Please welcome these brave men and women back into your communities!
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home. ~ Roderick Haig-Brown, Fisherman's Spring, 1951
