Carol Marfisi writes about how the public :
"... should not express any less shock or demand any less purposeful and immediate action against the living conditions that demoralize people with disabilities and the elderly who live in facilities in situations that would never be tolerated by these in power if they were themselves to residence of the same facilities.."
...than they do to the conditions facing Iraqi vets.

I'm a vet. I received brand new equipment and good care. I felt I was entitled to that more than other disabled people who didn't do anything to earn it. But some of my friends who served got a raw deal and after watching how hard it was for them, I don't wish that on anyone. Plus the longer I'm in a wheelchair the more respect I have for other people who lived in chairs longer. I agree with this 100 per cent. Good work and stay gutsy. We need people to speak up.
Thanks for commenting. I appreciate your point of view on this and respect your service to our country. God bless.
