[Vision2020] Veterans' Health Care (a REAL Issue)

[Art Deco aka W. Fox]

Tom,

I couldn't agree more.  When members of our services are asked to make supreme 
sacrifices, we must take care of the adverse effects on them of those 
sacrifices.

Even more important, we must equip them maximally in the field, as we are not 
doing (lack of personal armor, poor and poorly maintained equipment, etc.).

  Greetings Visionaires -



  As the war in Iraq continues and more and more troops are put into harm's way, 
we MUST ensure that these honorable men and women are provided for, not only on 
active duty, but as veterans once they have returned home and are discharged.



  I am not only a retired Army non-commissioned officer, but a lifetime member 
of Disabled American Veterans (DAV).  As such I feel that it is our moral 
obligation to provide reliable and dependable health care to our disabled 
veterans.



  At no other time in our history (to include the Vietnam War) has the future of 
veterans' health care been threatened with such drastic reduction and some 
benefits with potential termination, than under the current administration.



  To better inform veterans and their spouses concerning the views of 
presidential candidates toward veterans' health care, DAV provided 
questionnaires to, and received responses from these candidates..



  I encourage you to review, download, print, and distribute to as many voters 
as possible:

  We can not . . . We must not . . . We will not . . . leave these men and women 
behind.
