Newsy | Simpson: Disabled Veterans 'Not Helping' Economy | Multisource Video News Analysis
Vets (and their widows) need jobs, services & a sympathetic ear. Save Pomp and Circumstance for high school commencements & the Queen of England.
Job discrimination against returning vets (who often still have Reserve reqiurements) is still high. That is, when there are any on offer.
My point is if you want to honor a vet, do something more meaningful than salute the flag. That's my problem. And America's, too
Don't preach to me, pal. I'm a vet too.

Yeah, Simpson is a dink. Given. All pols are. All.
What is your point? I'd at least like to see $100,000 SGLI to replace that insulting $10,000 that is offered now. Will we see it? No. If you are so against Memorial Day, stay in bed.
I'll be cooking brats and drinking beer.
