With the 4th of July being in 2 days, I wanted to remind everyone about the reason we are free, the reason we can celebrate. Our Veterans. In the wake of the news that government approved doctors were over medicating our vets resulting in death, we need to remember that as far as we would like to think we have come since the days of Vietnam (the way our soldiers returning were treated was a disgrace). We still have a long way to go. These heroes who served so that we can be free are still being used, abused, and even at times vilified because they served. I have seen on more than one occasion a vet stopped by strangers, when waking around wearing their vet hat, only to be yelled at by these strangers because the vet is disabled and they do not feel they should have to have their taxes pay for it. Now of course the vet do get the thanks for serving, which is great, and leaves them choked up every time, but it is always the bad that stands out. The ugly part is it is those rights, and freedoms that our vets fought for that allow these people to stop me and yell. With all this in mind I challenge each and every one of you to stop a vet and simply say thank you. Remind them they are appreciated, respected, and have earned our thanks, love , and admiration.
