I just cannot believe it! The way our military is treated upon returning home by the very government they serve is atrocious.
I’m on the St Christopher Conference of the St Vincent dePaul. We help low income people in the county with utilities, food, rent, etc. This morning I get a phone call from the St Vincent dePaul store. A man came in this morning with his water bill. He was told it was going to be shut off today. He filled out the application like everyone else and guess what? Yes, he’s a returning Marine and he’s waiting for the government to pull it’s head out of it’s arse and take care of him. I do not see why it has to take so long for the social security office to determine someone’s disability. Not to mention the mountains of paperwork.
There really should be a fast track for our returning military. They’ve had enough to deal with over there.
