Those Who Care About Vietnam Era Veterans:

My ex-husband is dying because he was denied health care via VA hospitals. He served overseas and refused to follow orders when he was called in to control the Anti-War Protesters. Fed up, with the military, he ended up with a dishonorable discharge after 3 years.

He has COPD and needs a lung transplant along with Hep C which he obtained when he was overseas which they called (non A/non B) at the time. I know. I have Hep C also.

People talk about Obama HealthCare; he gave his life for 3 years and stuck up for civil liberties. Yes we need Obama Care and we need VA care at the very least, for someone in his situation.

What kind of world do we live in when people would pour thousands of dollars into saving a dog and not a dime for someone who risked his life?

What kind of world do we live in when we refuse a VET healthcare for standing up for OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES?

We should all be ashamed of our country. He will be deceased within a few months and another VET will be deceased and another and another and another.

ALL WILL BE FORGOTTEN!

Please support him in any way you can. I plead with you to stand up to the plate, every demonstrator who protested against the Vietnam War and every Veteran and every citizen in the United States.

GIVE HIM LIFE! I BEG YOU! GIVE HIM LIFE!
