Reply #6: Despite best intentions, it is hard to keep up. [View All]

A lot of dedicated folks working to help guys and gals get there lives together. Harder and harder to watch those who are in despair, worried uncontrollably about their families, lost if feelings that folks are losing interest in their plight. I know most Americans have our men and women in uniform in their hearts and minds (its the politicians who make war, it's the soldiers who live and die it). Still there's not enough folks of good works and willing backs to make the loads lighter. After a while you begin to wonder if average Joe American is really taking out much time in their daily life to consider the real impacts, in human terms, of this war.

Discussion of specific issues about how volunteers are viewed and utilized is not constructive. Want to know more?, contact the VA volunteer coordinators and fill out an application (http://www1.va.gov/volunteer/). You'll get to meet some extraordinary men and women, now in uniform, never in uniform, and once in uniform.
