On FLOTUS & SLOTUS "There is this sense that this is genuine," says Raezer. "We haven't had this kind of visibility from the White House—ever." Joyce Raezer - December 30, 2011


What wasn't done by those who should have, that administration, those congresses, that VA administration, More Importantly the Country: "In 2004, we invaded Iraq," he said. "At that point, the VA should have seen it coming." Richmond attorney Matthew A. Kapinos, a veteran of Army service in Iraq and Afghanistan - May 13, 2012 - and obstructed since!


Our Nation: 'We Pretend the Vets Don't Exist'


Country Must 'Sacrifice' not just Groups Within nor Just Non Profits Fighting for Donations!

If not fully funded, decades now not, while ignoring what we vets were saying on many issues, and especially the past decade plus with two more wars, on the front end and funded for maintaining and updating needs, especially as our next wars are cheered on, that causes much much more in trying to correct what wasn't done or modernized and not only as to monetary needs but the needs of all the Veterans who served the Country! The peoples representatives, fed and states, beat up on the agency and as their representatives the people support that, instead of calling themselves out as the problem!


The new 'magnetic ribbons' the 'parades', with no demand for sacrifice get same results, but 'parades' only last a few hours on one day! Think 'Desert Storm' and 'Gulf War Syndrome', Ignored till recently, finally, after the 'Parades'!
Have the 'Welcome Home Parades' but at each the one word that should be spoke and on the minds of All, 'Sacrifice', Demand It, You Owe It!

No Revenues = Still No Sacrifice = That's Called 'Support' For The Troops = DeJa-Vu all over again!!

Now a decade and counting, told to go shopping, use patriotic meme's and symbols of support and wave them flags, added to the previous decades of under funding the VA, while the peoples reps Still try and lay blame on the Agency, after rubber stamping wars and costs of and those represented cheer on these wars!

While the wealthy and other investors garner their booty, still, from both and many have the chutz·pa to call themselves more patriotic{?} then others wrapped in those false flags, using false slogans and various cheap symbols of and then seek one day events or parades to wave all that patriotism, call it "Supporting the Troops", then go home and either ignore or forget about those that actually sacrificed for the country!
