Every day at the Veterans Affair Hospital, veterans are being sent away with little to no treatment. Or when they do receive treatment, it is using archaic and outdated techniques.

In a recent article, it outlined that some people were removed from the treatment list and later died from conditions that could have been treated. There was, also, a misappropriation of funds shown in the article. The hospital spent $10 million dollars on a MRI machine It was shown on the VA website that if a veteran wanted to see a primary care physician that average wait time was 10.15 days, however in a different article it was shown that scheduling clerks

A freedom I enjoy because of veterans sacrifice is freedom of speech. With freedom of speech you can basically say whatever you want when you want it. If you don't like a person running for a place in office or something, you are allowed to say you don't like them, without getting in trouble. If you want to protest something you are also able to do so. You can go out into the streets or on social media and protest whatever you want with freedom of speech. Your allowed to voice your opinion. People in the army go out of the country and risk their lives everyday for us to have freedom of speech.

The article I chose to write about was about Honor the debt we owe Veterans. This is a letter to the editor of Veterans. For at least 98 years we have been honoring our veterans of war. On Nov. 11 was a day to remember with gratitude those who answered the call of duty to serve our country. During the morning of the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” in 1918, World War I ended. To commemorate, President Woodrow Wilson, on Nov. 11, 1919, an order was issued to designate this day as Armistice Day. During 1938, Armistice Day was made a national holiday. Then, it was given greater significance on May 26, 1954, when President Dwight Eisenhower, the man who had served heroically in the European theater during World War II, signed a congressional resolution that changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day.

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assistance to our veterans and their families can be traced back to the 1600’s and Plymouth County. A law was passed stating that disabled soldiers would be supported by the colony. The first domiciliary and medical facilities for veterans were established in the 1800’s, followed by benefits and programs for widows and dependents of those killed in action. After World War I benefits were expanded to cover disabilities that were not service-related and Soldier’s Homes were now accepting disabled veterans from the women’s corps, the Militia and the National Guard units.
