It is time to take a stand for these
veterans. They are scare to say much for being thrown out. Last Feb. one
was thrown out for drinking. He froze to death.
The mail is read before
they receive it. Vote is hindered. Jim Dunn and Sara Dunne tell us what
we want to hear.
Their Representatives forbidden for address them or let
them speak their minds. They have a room call the Court Yard where you
are locked up for miner infraction.
My question is WHY? Why treat these wonderful people like this. Why can't their voices be heard.Why can't someone help?
I'm looking to you the voices of American to
step up to the plate and help these veterans. Yes they have issues. They
were in wars, seen things you don't want to know. Did things you don't
want to know. But they have to live with it daily. WWII vets didn't
receive the help they needed back then. Vietnam Veterans were treated so
poorly when they came home and they didn't get the help they needed
back then.
Now in the last few years help has come but for some it is to
late so they live at the home and treat like outcast. Are you willing
to help?

note: So far the silence is Deafening. Traditionally, the Local news
has refused to air any articles that draws into question the validity
of the current administration or its actions towards the veterans.
Advocates as well as members of the home have contacted the local media in the past, including Billie Ray who was interviewed on camera so he could tell his story of abuse. That abuse by the home eventually caused his death. This was taken to WZZM channel 13, and nothing came of it.
We do not expect the local media to report the real news anymore.
