The Parades Are Over. Where Are Your Troops? (Part Two)

If it weren't for charities...

In July, 2014, "RIP Medical Debt" was launched for the purpose of taking the weight of unpaid medical debt off the backs of our fellow citizens. Certainly a worthwhile cause, considering over 50 percent of all personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are medical debt related and medical debt is an unwelcome burden for too many families.

It is now RIP's intention to include veteran debt in our campaign. It was a development that, even I as a Navy veteran, had not considered. After all, our government is supposed to be responsible for those who serve and have served, right? Not quite, not well, and sometimes not at all.

The Parades Are Over. Where Are Your Vets?

If you were like many Americans on November 12 of this year, you did take time to honor those who have fought - and still fight for - our country. Perhaps you were there personally to watch the parades that day which took place in the largest and smallest cities.
