Before now poetry has taken notice
Of wars, and what are wars but politics
Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
from "Build Soil"

So Much For My Pleasant Demeanor:



Have a Purple Heart?

The government might be sending you a bill

I'd heard about this before, but refrained from posting because it seemed to be a lot of rumor and little substance. The American Legion meeting gives it a lot more weight)

  2. I am so ashamed of what is happening TD, My post today is about soldiers paying for their care, I thought we were getting another Jimmy Carter, I wish it was that good.

    Forgive me. I'm just a girl, and a civilian at that. As a taxpayer,I'm paying the VA for your treatment. As a contributer to a private health insurance company, I would be paying for your treatment. I am honored to help defray the costs of the treatment of any of our veterns.

    The primary concern is coverage, correct?

    Does that help?
