HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 14, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 14, 2015 Given the 95 degree heat and 105 degree "feels like temperature" in the sun you may see me on my own protest of VA health care. I am going to see if we still have the right of free assembly to protest government policy. I am going to get me a sign and a chair and just sit on the sidewalk in from of the local VA hospital, VARO or my congresswoman's office with some slogan to voice my disgust about the way we vets are treated by the VA. I have called, written or emailed just about everyone I know who can possible help. My feeling is no one cares about vets. Not the ones being paid to care for vets and that is for sure. I just need a good hat and suntan oil. Florida is just hot as hades in June and July. What we have is a "pretend" system to care for vets and disabled older vets in particular. The Choice Card, Caregiver stipend and all the rest of that is mostly hogwash. Vets since Korea have been passive and see what it has gotten us? No disability increases except COLA since WWII. When I got 10% disability in 1971 it was $28 dollars a month. My father got 10% from WWII and he got 8 dollars. As far as I know he never visited a VA hospital during his short lifetime. I may not be able to last too long in that heat or before I get arrested or bashed on the head. I will test it and see. Any suggestions about a good sign slogan that is got some punch but not too long so it fits on a hand held sign? John 31Bravo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArNG11 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I don't know about a slogan, but maybe involve a local radio or local tv station that is veteran friendly. And lot of water and a few bottles of gatorade. Good luck Sir.

georgiapapa Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Possible Slogans: "You are more likely to die here than in a combat zone." "Use at your own risk" "If you are looking for good quality healthcare by highly competent medical personnel, you are in the wrong place." 31Bravo, Andyman73, ArNG11 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted June 15, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 15, 2015 or''If you think veterans receive the best medical care from Veterans Administration Medical Centers, think again or just ask any veteran.The reasons VA Medical Centers are built to provide excellence medical care for Veterans, Unfortunately we are not receiving such Care. you want proof just go visit any VAMC.Wanna see the after effects of War?
