My Dad is at peace now Urban. But back in 1997, I flew to Calif, I lived in the East, to find a place for him to go because the nursing home he was in put him on the street!! I mean, literally, when I arrived that is where he was, sitting in the street in a wheel chair/w a bottle of oxygen on his lap. He could no longer pay!!!! I went to the VA hospital to ask if they would take him they said NO! At the time, the Majority Leader of the House in Richmond Va was a good friend, I threatened to get him involved, they didn't want that so they let him stay for 1 day, until i found him a place. He was sooooo sick from Agent Orange, prostrate, & Lung cancers. That was in November, I flew home, and got the call at work early the next morning, he was gone!! So anything involving a Veteran is important to me!

All Veterans should never have to worry about having a roof over their head, food to eat, or getting the best medical care. It saddens me what your Dad endured. Veterans deserve to be treated with dignity and respect for their sacrifices.

God rest your father's soul. My condolences for the loss of your father and the terrible treatment he received not only as a veteran but as human being.
