[If you don’t have time to read the rest of this blog, would you please help, by either:
VISITING one of the sites listed on my vets resources page or at charities.org
DONATE to the organization of your choice.
GIVE a copy of Her First Knight to someone or purchase it on Amazon. From today through Memorial Day all royalties of Her First Knight for that period will go straight to one of the charities on my page. Depending on the price of the book, that should mean around $2.50 per book.
STEP OUTSIDE your comfort zone, out of the malaise that says, “surely someone else is doing that” and do something to help a vet —take them to an out of town doctor’s appointment. Help fill out paperwork. Give the family members a helping hand, your friendship.
Our
veterans don’t want handouts but they should be able to expect a LOT
for their service, least of all what they deserve, medical care, jobs,
support for their families, and respect. They should wander the streets
or succumb to PTSD, TBI, and depression and take their own lives.
Yes, the statistics say that every day at least 22 veterans take their lives. it’s surely more since the way deaths are reported in certain states, some are treated as accidents, etc. but we’re talking at least one an hour. Visit mission22.com to find out more or the Shepherd Center One of the best articles I’ve read lately was called Veterans Come Home to Unprepared Nation, a News21 report. Please take 5 minutes and read this article or any media you trust to see the extent of the need of this vast community. Share the information. The need of post 9/11 veterans is considered an epidemic, and the waste and corruption that contributed to it have set the process back exponentially.
Like Ridge Romano, the hero in my book, said, “Every company and person in this country who is able should be giving back to the men and women who have given their lives and their commitment to us.” All of us.
Please think of what you can do in this next month when we remember all of those we we've lost and those who serve.
Please DON'T STICK your head in the sand. For a great informative blog on this subject and ways you can help go here.
