Shame on US!

And it's not just veterans! People from all walks of life.......at any given moment.........living paycheck to paycheck.....can and are finding themselves homeless! But.............the elected officials on Capitol Hill (yes we voted for them) give themselves a hefty raise whenever the mood strikes!

So.....the bottom line.......the big question.....

What are WE going to do about all of this? We (speaking for Americans) live in "The Land Of Opportunity". How can EVERY citizen take advantage of this so called "opportunity"? How can "they" (those on the hill) sleep at night knowing this is happening in a country where "ALL men" (and women) are suppose to be treated equal"? Do they just close their eyes to it and pretend it doesn't exist? Or are they so truly removed from "the common man's" plight that they have no idea of the magnitude of this problem? Maybe we should bombard them with statistics. Maybe WE should make them aware....or more aware!

So very sad Irish! I wish things like this could never happen......to anyone.....let alone a veteran who had risked his life for a country that, in turn, turned it's back on him!

I say again.........SHAME ON US!
