I love to watch an ER show on tv every nite, and I cried when I saw a story about a Vietnam Veteran who lived on the streets. He was a golf caddy, or something like that, homeless, and used the money he made to drink. He hurt himself, and the ambulance had to come get him. He said he had not eaten in 9 days. I CRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why are we letting this happen? It is not only the governments responsibility, it is ours too! Here are these men, suffering from PTSD, using alcohol to make the thoughts and visions go away, and we allow them to walk the streets? How did this happen? Why?
I will tell you one thing. I am ashamed. I am ashamed at our government and I am ashamed at myself. There is so many people who need help, and here I sit, fortunate enough to hold down a job, even though I am diagnosed with two mental health disorders, have a husband and a home, and a car with two dogs. I lack for nothing. I give thankx for everything. What a disgrace I am though, for not opening my eyes...
