Kill Congo
Hey, Ed, I say bye-bye, Congo. I’m just amazed that all these people can take time off from work to protest for a dog, yet at the Veterans Day parade you don’t have enough people to come out, or when you’re at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen, you don’t have enough people to help serve, but you have plenty of time for a dog. This society is pretty screwed up. Bye-bye, Congo.
Sound Mind
Screwed up, indeed. You’ve put it all in perspective. But Congo is pretty cute. Next ...—Ed. Note

Forget Congo. Spend some time helping a disabled vet. When they come home with no limbs or blind, no one has anything to say about it. Grow up people and show some real support. Stop supporting legislators who let them live in the street and go without desperately needed medical assistance. They bought the American dream and it turned into a nightmare. We should all be ashamed, spending so much time rallying over a dog, when the men and women who support our country are completely ignored.
I totally agree. For years now, I wanted to express my opinion about the way disabled american vets have been treated. We virtually amount to nothing once we come back home. We come home without many of the very important parts you people take for granted everyday. We got no parade coming home, there were no flags flying, no media and no applause. No one notices a man who limps, or manages a wheel chair, uniform or not. Were invisible, we no longer look like hero's. We live in the streets, beg on the corners, eat from the garbage, and remain ignored, feared often arrested for loitering on a daily basis. Our meals come after long lines outside soup kitchens. I remember the day I left Fort Dix, on my way to Germany and how proud I felt. Knowing how much my country meant to me that day, I couldn't understand why so many people were crying? Everyone should have been happy. After all so many young men and women were ready to sacrifice all they were to honor our presidents decision to serve and protect. It was all I wanted to do, no matter what. Well that's exactly what happened. Now, I know why the people were crying, they already felt sorry for us. Maybe they could already see what would go on behind that flag. After living for seven years with one hand, it took a very long time to type this note. Finally, I realized, no one hears our pleas for help, no matter what.
Dear U.S. Marine, speaking for myself and so many others, who agree wholeheartedly with your every word, we feel ashamed. Not ashamed of you, but ashamed for you. The United States of America has everything to offer, every other country in the world. The shame belongs to all of us that the U.S. has no real solutions to offer our veterans. What we don't realize is that without the men and women who sacrifice themselves for our safety, we could never enjoy the freedoms we take for granted.
