    Protect the Borders and keep us free from threats...yes!!!!!!!

    But don't go selling the the Program like the Marine Corp ("the proud the few") to unsuspecting kids who can't afford an education and then throw them in a clothes dryer and cause suicides like that a hole drill Sargent Felix who was just convicted by Court Martial

    The biggest "Thanks" folks could give any Vet is to pressure your politicos to increase funding for Veteran access to quality health/post career care. Maybe knock a percent or two off that proposed top end tax cut and use that money to pay for it. Time for America to put its money where it's mouth is. There should be NO homeless Vets anywhere in this country just to state a small part of the problem.

    When I got out in the late 90’s benefits were simple — I qualified for every grant imaginable and receiving my full GI Bill benefits was a breeze. I made money by just attending college. And I was able to get registered and access to VA medical centers with a measly 10% disability rating for a basketball injury.

    Now, I understand it’s a hassle for war vets just to get any payment for the GI Bill and guys with actual war injuries can’t get care. It’s a disgrace.

    We had the 82nd Airborne Division stationed just up the road from my house. Lived here 20 years and only just found that out.

    Always wear my poppy this time of year

    A politician said some empty promise to help vets to score cheap political points? Knock me down with a feather.

    Ya, Bernie’s accomplishments on behalf of our veterans is truly astonishing. It’s why they’re all so well cared for today.

    and If I do?
    The fact that YOU don't want to look it up and educate yourself is your call...
    a simple google search will show you everything but I highly doubt anything will change your mind...this is why i don't bother dealing with people who refuse to acknowledge facts.

    Here's one story...feel free to do some research on your own if you actually care to learn facts.

    How Bernie Sanders Fought for Our Veterans
