God bless you, redrock. Thank you.

What a beautiful tribute and exhortation to care for our heroes while we can!
To: redrock
I can't believe it, I was just thinking tonight that redrock hasn't pinged me in a long time and look what happened!

Good to see you bro.
I get to spend time with vets at the local haunts and it's always good to hear their stories or to hear their take on current events. It never seems like enough to thank them just by listening.
But then again, maybe it is.
Take care and keep the rubber on the road.

Take a moment this week....visit a Retirement home...go to the wards of the nearest V.A. Hospital.
...and just talk to them....and take a moment to listen to their stories.

I appreciate your post but disagree with the title. It is not America's shame. There are many who do visit hospitals and nursing homes to visit with all who are there, not just Vets (and I am one).
The greater shame is with the families who do not visit. I never saw any visitors to my Mom's roommate when she was in a nursing home. The woman was near death, and mentally not all there, but there were many who were like that and had family visit if only to hold their hands. We need look no further than the mirror to see who should be visiting friends in the hospital, recovering at home, or even sending a card of support or sympathy, which is in keeping with the body of your post.
It is not America's shame, it is ours.
