I am sure glad that we
have nonprofit organizations to help others in need. I am writing this because
whenever I see an ad on television about the Wounded Warrior Project why do we
have a need? This may sound like unusual question but I think it is a valid
question. I am not at all questioning the work the Wounded Warrior Project is
doing I am wondering why we have the need at all. The reason I am saying this
is that we have the Federal Government and the military should they not be fulfilling
the financial needs of the wounded soldiers.
I believe that we all
should be asking this question. Whenever we see a veteran or someone currently
in service we thank them for their service to our country. My belief is that military
should be taking care of their financial needs. At least up to certain point
anyway. I am going to expand on this thought. If the serviceman is injured in
war should not the military take care of all their needs including
financially. If the serviceman is able
to work than they should have a job; however, if the job does not cover all their
expenses the military should cover the rest. I am not saying the serviceman
should live in high luxury living but should be able to live in a manner they
can be comfortable.
I believe whether it is
the Wounded Warrior Project, other veteran groups, and all of us as citizens of
the United States our purpose should be to encourage wounded warriors in all
other manners but financially. Other words we need to let them know that we are
with them and if they need a friend we are beside them. The families of wounded
soldiers should never know that they are alone. Each of them paid a price so we
can continue to have freedom. Actually we need to help out all veterans in the
same way we should be helping out all of our fellow Americans as though they
are families and friends.
I want to thank all the
non-profit organizations including Wounded Warrior Project for the work that
they do. I am not questioning what they are doing I am questioning why our
military and government is not doing more. Have yourself a really good week and
hug a veteran and a serviceman along with your family and friends. Again I want
to thank all of them for what they have done for our country.
