The Yountville Veteran's home is the largest veterans’ home in the US. Some 1,000 aged or disabled veterans (both men and women) or World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom now live at the home.

Undoubtedly involving an AR-15 per the approved and painstakingly rehearsed Big Government script.

Been through Yountville many times. Had no idea the largest veterans home in the US was there! Prayers up for them.

If anyone’s wondering, Yountville is in “Wine Country,” not far north of San Francisco and fairly close to the city of Napa. This is an area of vineyards, wineries, restaurants, and the like, and if you’ve gone far enough north into the valley, you may have passed by the area.

From the full article: “The Napa Valley Register reported an armed gunman, dressed in black with body armor, entered the building and may have taken hostages.” Definitely sounds like a “gone postal” or maybe a “going after an ex” scenario.

I visit the California Veterans Home in Chula Vista, CA. I love going over there and having lunch with those guys. There are a lot of World War II vets there. Real heroes. What could possibly be worse than shooting up a veterans home?

“What could possibly be worse than shooting up a veterans home?”

I’m sure someone from the Obama Administration regrets that they didn’t think of it first.

I thought California had strict gun laws??

These shooters must be unaware of them, because they clearly wouldn’t be committing these acts if they were.

The French Laundry, arguably (by most foodies) one of the finest restaurants in the world is a couple of blocks away.

Arm all the vets no matter where they are.

Trumps meeting with Kim Jung Un was getting too much attention.
