Veterans and Active Duty Member in harms way

It is no secret that veterans of the military are not truly recognized for their contribution in keeping this country safe. So, the spotlight on the medical condition, is more than likely because of the injuries suffered by Bod Woodruff. Woodruff share a bond with those who suffer an injury while battling in combat zones.

Woodruff could afford the best care, including having a friend that is a doctor. But many injured soldiers and their families with the same type of injury can not afford the same type of treatment. Woodard in his recovery has committed his life to raising funds to help these soldiers receive funding and better care.


Now turning to President George W. Bush. The headline reads,Army surgeon general forced to retire .
The Army forced its surgeon general, Lt. Gen. Kevin C. Kiley, to retire, officials said Monday, the third high-level official to lose his job over poor outpatient treatment of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
begins the story.

If the United States citizens are outraged by the treatment of wounded soldiers, when are the United States citizens will demand for the President to bring our soldiers out of harms way in fighting this war?
