On the other hand I do believe there is strength in numbers and we would be in evendeeper trouble without the service organizations.It's important for us to fight forveterans benefits even thoughwe may not choose to use them.We owe this to a new generation of warriors and their dependents.

Just thinkin' outloud.....
And that's why I love ya lil Sis!

I couldn't have said better.

God bless ya gal.
