Kathleen, I just want to say thank you for serving. It sickens me how veterans are treated. I’m guessing you wouldn’t accept it, but we should be setting you up for life for sacrificing YOURS for OUR freedom. Thank you 🙏🏻

I will do that! Can you post a link to a worthy organization too? Thank you in advance. I’m looking forward to doing something impactful for our heroes. I’m not sure which organizations I can trust any longer.
Great article! Thanks for sharing it. Too many of us think homelessness is a choice, but for many it’s not. Glad to help in some small way. God bless you, Kathleen. You sound like a great person.
Maybe so, but you didn’t know that when you enlisted. You just proved my point. Whether you believe it or not, you are a hero to tens of millions of us. I have a sinking feeling that those words are embarrassing to you which only FURTHER proves my point. How do we repay you? What can WE do for YOU and all the other veterans? Nothing seems to be enough to me. Just please know how so many of us feel regardless of how crappy our government treats you.
If you live near a VA hospital you can volunteer your time.
Lots of vets are homeless or are in danger of becoming homeless. I support them by sending a monthly donation a faith-based homeless shelter that goes out into the community and provides needed items to the homeless. For example, this past summer they requested extra funds to provide bottled water during a heat wave. These guys are great. Many who work there have been homeless themselves or have wrestled with drug and alcohol addictions. They are dialed into VA points of contact to further help any homeless veterans they encounter.

I’m in the chicago area and the VA is located near Great Lakes Naval Station. I’ll be volunteering thanks to you.

This is the organization in Pittsburgh that I do a monthly donation.

Done! $250 donated in your honor!
Thank you!
Here is a recent article on how the Light of Life Mission in Pittsburgh is helping homeless veterans.
Also other organizations in Pittsburgh.

Thank you for your kind words.
I wish I could do more for you than just kind words. You and every other brave soul who has served. I’m eternally grateful.
There are others who made more of a sacrifice than I ever did.
In Pennsylvania, you can get a license plate for your vehicle that reads, "Gold Star Family."
It tells the world that you had a family member who died in combat.
Sobering..and sad...to see them.
