These young wounded men and women have to fight their government for the small amount of benefits they are entitled to , some are even denied the medical rehab they need to just get around like you and me that take our every day existence for granted .
They fought for our freedom and the freedom of others , they should not be pushed on the back burner , we should now be fighting for them the same way they fought for us .
But we the general public just dont know the troubles these heroes of our country have to endure just to get the benefit money they deserve , the general public is kept in the dark about such matters by our government , nice way to treat our wounded vets , but it goes on every day .

They say "LEST WE FORGET" !! The wounded are are always the Forgotten ones , the dead dont have to live with the trauma of memories like they do , we always remember the fallen and forget those that gave just as much but have to live with the injuries of war ..
Very true. It's not just physical injuries endured by these veterans either many of the mental issues associated with PTSD is worse then any physical injury.
