Demand Healthcare for Our Heroes
Target: U.S. Senate; House of RepresentativesSponsored by: Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
The men and women who fight for our freedom and safety should NOT have to fight to get the healthcare they deserve.
More than 20,000 brave soldiers have been injured while serving in the current "war on terror." Despite these sacrifices, Congress recently tried to slash the budget for the VA's traumatic brain injury care and research centers that so many of our wounded troops are depending on. Congress needs to know that anything short of fully funded healthcare and benefits for our veterans is unacceptable.
Our veterans have earned the right to high quality healthcare. Sign the Healthcare for Our Heroes Petition to demand that Congress hold up its end of the bargain and provide full funding for veterans' healthcare and benefits.

They put their lives on the line to protect my freedom and they deserve to be treated medically for the injuries they accrued during their fight for this great country.

My son is a Marine. My father was career Army. They fight for the country yet they are abandoned and kicked aside. It's time to end this shameful behavior. Take care of our Vets for life.

Soilders who have braved to fight over seas deserve high quility health care coverage. Many americans who understand the struggles that a soilder goes though is not only broken bones and wounds. It is also a life long mental battle from within.

I have recently read about hospitals that were overrun with rats and unfit for patients, soilders who were mis-diagnoised with personality disorder instead of brain injury long term effects,post traumatic stress disorder, and depression so that the government could call their illness pre-exsisting condition and not cover their health care needs, and soilders who were sent home wounded or unfit for duty being required to pay back enlistment bonous. What kind of country treats it's soilders and war heros that way? Since when are budget cuts approved at the expense of the ill and infirmed men and women who so willingly served their country in this completely unpopular war that was founded on lies to begin with?

If we ask for a huge sacrifice from them, then we have to make a sacrifice too. Give up your pork barrel projects and put the money where it needs to go--helping our freedom fighters.
