Walter Reed...

After reading several articles in the Washinton Post and seeing a flurry of news reports on major networks like CNN and MSNBC I have begun to be quite worried about the care of our newly disabled soldiers. These are young men and women who volunteer to join the armed service to defend the United States. The US owes these young men and women the best care and resources they can provide. It saddens me that through this expose the army & Walter Reed Medical Center seem to have egg on their face. We as citizens should demand that our government provides for these troops the best care & resources possible. Why? Not for the basic care of our own but more importantly so these young soldiers can have productive lives and given the best opportunities possibles. Without a fresh start and state of the art facilities we are endangering our wounded soldiers throughout there treatment.

It is time that the citizens of the United States be vigilant in sending a message to its government saying that it is critical to take care of the needs of our own. Maybe we can use this as a model so that the government can understand the value of the entire disability community.
