I may have ‘begrudgingly’ joined the Trump Train, but now
I admit I am President Trump’s #1 FAN!
… And I don’t mean that in a Kathy Bates ‘sort of way’ … 
I am a Vietnam era, Vet. I was honorably discharged and medically severed from the United States Marine Corps in 1975.
The DoD gave me a 10% rating for my knee and … the VA gave me the finger! 
I have told of my ‘adventures’ with the VA, they have been pretty sad. The fact remains, I am no hero, I joined because my country needed me and I believed it was my ‘duty’. And so did a lot of other Vets! We take the ‘matter of our nations security’ as a REAL ISSUE! We want to see our Constitution handed down to the next generation!
When I attend my VA appointments am among HERO’S!
They gave so much for our Freedom! I often am moved to tears when I am among them and witness their sacrifices.
When our nation is disrespected, IN ANY WAY – These brave men and women are disrespected!
<rant> Sorry, but this ‘disrespect’ of our President, Nation and Flag is getting out of hand! … I find it ‘ironic’ that it was these men and women’s blood and sacrifice that enabled our constitutional rights to be exercised by a bunch of ingrates that think that socialism/communism is okay in our nation! </rant>
Getting back to the debachael known as the VA … I decided to hold our newly elected President Trump to his promise and I re-filed my 40+ year old Disability Claim with the VA; on the very day of his Inauguration!
It crawled, at first … but slowly the VA was changing its tune and recognizing its failure and by ‘steps’ awarded my claim! I am now in the President Trump signature program – Rapid Appeals Modernization Program
I am now rated 90% service-connected, but the VA is paying me at the 100% rate. I have ‘one’ last appeal and I will be whole! 
I can’t tell one how much this changes my life and perspective!
I also watch Veterans forums and am happy to report they are seeing conditions improve, as well!
I have NO DOUBT in my mind that we owe this all to President Trump and his unequivocal love of Veterans!
Oohrah President Trump!
I know there would have been a HUGE turn out of Veterans that would like to show their ‘RESPECT’ for our President, had this parade not been canceled due to funding issues …

The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up! I will instead…

….attend the big parade already scheduled at Andrews Air Force Base on a different date, & go to the Paris parade, celebrating the end of the War, on November 11th. Maybe we will do something next year in D.C. when the cost comes WAY DOWN. Now we can buy some more jet fighters!
