On this Veterans Day, our government officials will give Patriotic speeches praising our troops and our veterans. But, for all the lip service, veterans with physical and mental illnesses and injuries are being turned away at the doors of the VA hospitals due to a lack of resources.
It's bad enough that we send our troops to war without the armor they need. But our government's failure to take care of them after they come home is literally adding insult to injury. And it's inexcusable.
Our newly elected 110th Congress must make VA funding a priority. It's time we truly supported our troops, instead of just talking about it.
