everything that I was, made me what I am today.
I'm ok with all of it .
Although I am not of your generation Tony, I mostly agree with what you said. What offends me the most is some media stories imply that most of the homeless are veterans as if being a veteran is what led to their homlessness. Homeless has nothing to do with being a veteran. Being a veteran, especially in the last few years, has become a point of pride and I am amazed at how many "Thank you for your service" comments I hear nowadays. It wasn't always that way as many of you can attest. There are a lot of things about this country of which I am no longer proud but the armed forces and their members are certainly not one of them. They are the best and each and every one volunteered to do the job.
