Hi Jeri, Sorry I used this venue but I have felt so helpless to make a difference to help the service connected disabled veterans who are having all of the military pensions taken from them because of being disabled from service connected injuries and illnesses. I am talking about men and women of our country who have served in the armed forces for over twenty years who have earned a military pension to only loose it because of their disabilities. The VA when awarding a service connected disability will notify the Defense Department who in turn reduces the military pension dollar for dollar of the retired service member who is getting a military pension. Those who are unemployable 100% service connected disabled are losing all of their military pensions and are unable to work. They can not survive on the VA amount and are unable to work. They have lost their military pensions that they worked their entire lives to earn simply because they were American active duty armed forces personnel. This is wrong. We have the solemn duty to care for and protect those that gave us our freedoms. We must not let this happen any longer to our disabled veterans. Please please do not let this continue. Please please insist that they make immediate changes to this law. Our military men and women who have given their lives to our country to our citizens to our children do not deserve to be treated this way. Please contact your senators and congressional representatives to stop this injustice today. Please. MSgt Roy Foster, USAF, Retired I know the sacrifices that our armed forces retired members gave. Please help them. Please Hi, Isn't this a wonderful country that takes your military pension just because you serve over twenty years active duty and become totally disabled from injuries, illnesses from wherever they send you and then they make you fight for your life till you die. Isn't this wonderful ? Isn't this what democracy is all about ? Isn't this the land of the free and the home of the brave ? Isn't this the greed of the Republican party taking from those that gave their lives, their future, their ability to care for themselves and their families ? How can they sleep at night when they have done this ? How can they raise their faces in the morning knowing what their actions have done? How is this injustice possible and be aloud to continue ? Where are the voices in America that have voices because of those that served ? Why don't they speak up for our disabled veterans that are being persecuted and robbed of their dignity and rights to survive ? SPEAK UP AMERICA.
