Senator Obama discusses the steps he's taken to make sure veterans get the support they've earned for serving their country.
"For decades, Illinois veterans have received less disability pay than they earned simply because of where they live," said Senator Obama. "I strongly encourage veterans who feel like the VA made a mistake in their claim to call 1-800-827-1000 or visit a special website the VA set up at Senator Durbin and my request at: www.vba.va.gov/SpecialOutreach."

It's so hard for young veterans to get healthcare. I did three Iraq tours and was declined medical for my injuries that weren't treated properly while on active duty. Force to self medicate I was then discharged for taking perscription drugs without perscription wheres the justice in that.

True that, but then we only get two choices to vote. Our options are very slim

Remember a person ranning of any office will shake you hand, tell he or she support what you want to hear, pick your pocket, then kick you in the behind on your way out of the meeting.

Here is a quote from the person that posted this video. Do you really think these people give a shit for our veterans?
" No way Hillary can win. Obama all the way. Now we really have to hope Bu$h's illegal war fails since Obama's been campaigning against it. At this rate we should be up to atleast 5000 dead troops by 08. Surely that will help Obama. Still Nancy has to keep her promise and bring them home quickly. Looks like some successes are happening."
