AM Grind: We Owe It To Our Vets to Heed Lincoln's Words
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle" - Our Country is falling short.
Friday was Veteran’s Day on the AM Grind,
hosted by Patrick Rafferty
Brought to light were disabled Veterans and the situation with the increasing bureaucracy of the Veteran’s Administration.
In front of Veteran’s Administration Headquarters is President Lincoln’s famous charge to all Americans:
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.”

[Editors note: Like the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, the meaning applies to all, not to a specific gender. Use common sense.]
Is the Veteran’s Administration Keeping to their Motto?
According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 40,056 veterans are homeless on any given night. Over the course of a year, approximately twice that many experience homelessness. The vast majority (96%) are single males from poor, disadvantaged communities who have served in World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War Grenada Panama Lebanon Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation Iraqi Freedom and the military’s anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. ~ Brave AI, 03.24.23
The Plan to Reduce Veteran Disability Benefits
Disabled Veteran’s be aware: A cut in Disability Benefits for retirees will increase each year. Perhaps relatively negligible for 2022, the accumulative decrease by 2030 will be 24.8 billion. This is an insult to veterans who voluntarily gave of themselves ‘heart, mind and soul’ for the United States.
It should be viewed as deplorable by all Americans, especially as Biden’s Administration chooses to pump millions to Ukraine in financial and military aid:

are 75.1% and 7.9%, respectively, in FY2020.
