Thanks for posting this heartbreaking story. It's a sad, sad, commentary when our returning young warriors have to endure the ravages and humiliations of a system that's supposed to HELP them rather than hurt them the way this young man and his family was hurt.

There is legislation currently pending (in conference committee) that will FIX the majority of these things. We, as individuals AND as members of service organizations, MUST e-mail, write and/or call or Senators and Representatives in Congress and ESPECIALLY the whitehouse to show our outrage and disgust for those elected officials who are NOT supporting the passing of this legislation!
