Crompsin is absolutely correct on all three points. Supporting the troops requires a little more than putting a magnetic yellow ribbon on your car. Think about that for a second. People can't even make enough of a commitment to put put a permanant decal on their cars.
Raeanna, call your local veterans organization. The VFW or the American Legion. Trust me, they love to hear about things just as you've described. We veterans have a way of looking out for each other, because the government won't. I am on my second term as commander of my American Legion post, and I can tell you that the VA pays heed to these organizations, The VA is, like any other adminstration, a beurocracy. They need to be watched.
Crompsin...join. Even if you're not "active", there is power in numbers. Veterans of your generation are not joining. We need you to remain a powerful voice in Washington. There is a hell of a lot more to the American Legion than just a bar where old guys go to hang out and tell lies. As my business card says..."Still Serving".
