Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans
Yesterday, there was a serious tragedy at an airplane show in Reno, Nevada where three people were killed and scores injured. The news coverage has been non-stop on TV and other media outlets.
Every day, 18 Veterans commit suicide — that’s more than 6,500 a year, and more than twice the number who were killed during the September 11 attack ten years ago.
There are 170,000 homeless Veterans in America and 20,000 struggle for survival here in Los Angeles, the “meanest city in the nation for the homeless.”
One week ago a Male Veteran committed suicide inside the West Los Angeles VA while a homeless Female Veteran was refused shelter and care and forced to live outside the VA on the sidewalk.
Did anyone see anything about this on TV or read about in any major newspaper?
Attend the Veterans Press Conference tomorrow, 2:30 PM, northeast corner of Wilshire and San Vicente Boulevards, adjacent to Brentwood, and you will learn more important news that only Veterans report.
More than 100 years ago, super journalist Finley Peter Dunne said: “The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
Today, it is the opposite, and the Old Veterans Guard has adopted that motto for our creed: “To comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.”
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE VETERANS REVOLUTION!
