What are we doing?
For the veterans of United States of America, most of them are suffering disabilities brought from the wars they joined, which torture them not only physically, but also mentally. For instance, PTSD, which is believed to be caused by the experience of traumatic events. For the veterans, who used to face blood bleeding, homesick, and the guiltiness of killing innocent people, are easy to get the PTSD. According to statistics, one out of three Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffered PTSD and its side effect. As for physical disabilities, thousands of thousands veterans got deformities by mines, bullets, chemical weapons, or interrogations. Veterans donated their safety to exchange our safety, to be the shield of US, to guarantee our harmony. Those arm-lacked, leg-lacked veterans need the social attention, need all the Americans' care. Is time to awake and face it.
Veterans did not receive enough postwar support and attention from the whole society. Meanwhile, countless veterans are being homeless, sleeping on the park's couch, curl up their bodies, rub two hands to make heat. How can we treat the heroes like that? Veterans' unemployment rate is twice of the nation's average rate; a third of homeless people in US are veterans; there is a backlog of 1.2 million claims in Veterans Administration.
Our goal is to awake the American society about how poor the veterans with disabilities are, to convene volunteers for action, to guide people a way. Nowadays, there are 17,855,628 veterans in US's territories, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, are still annoying for the unemployment, low compensations, and disabilities. Give them our hands, and give them our love.
