@Advocate1923@SenDuckworth They are tightening up the claim process on the above but it is not being denied. The question is how do our service men and women feel about it?
This posting is long overdue, but today being Veterans' Day is the perfect time to express my long-standing thoughts...
I have met MANY Anons during the past 9+ years that have a few things in common:
1: They never served in any branch of the military, and;
2: They have demonstrated many attributes of those who did serve: Resilience, bravery, mission-focused, tough as nails, willing to expose themselves for the greater good, ability to remain patient while awaiting "orders" that may or may not ever come, putting others first, leaving no one behind, etc., and;
3: I would have had many of you next to me in a foxhole in a heartbeat.
Never, ever think you're "less" than others who may have served. Many of us who did are damned proud to call you "frens for life".
If you see yourself in this little missive, God Bless you!
