VA Makes a Mockery of Disabled Veterans
Photo from last year's LA Marathon ... this is what will be running through Veterans sacred land this Sunday while Disabled American Veterans were locked out two weeks ago with their pre-approved event. The Department of Veterans Affairs will allow 25,000 able-bodied runners, most who are non-Veterans, to stampede through the West LA VA where America's Military Veterans are trying to heal from war, yet two weeks earlier the VA locked out Disabled American Veterans from their own event. VA Locks out Veterans -- San Fernando Valley Sun http://www.sanfernandosun.com/sanfer...=4974&Itemid=2 Why we hang the American Flag in Distress: This shameful abuse of Veterans land and making a mockery of Disabled Veterans only underscores our Right to do so! This is a National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers and there are nearly 20,000 homeless Veterans who are denied their Right to be on this property, but 25,000 runners are welcomed by the VA Any questions? I didn't think so ... so show up Sunday about 12:00 - 12:15 PM and do your duty!
