Remembering

I'll have to careful here,I'm almost against Remembrance Day. 

We should be thankful for all those who fought and dared for us.
But the rub , is that it is an excuse for politicians to feel self satisfied and smug ' hurrah ' , we did something.
In reality , our veterans come home to fight vs the government. Why should a vet have to prove that their PTSD (trauma ) is war related. Or wait for medical service or travel 100 s of miles for medical treatment and re - hab.
Thus , on Remembrance Day , DND and the government should announce that no vet has gone untreated , this year , if they asked for help.
I know that members of the Merchant Marine received limited or no post service care or acknowledgement. Has that changed , I don't know , maybe.
Seems to me when they fire torpedos and bullets at you , your fighting for your country.

So , to real Remembrance Day , thank you vets and shame on you gov't.

Weather : 50 F on the back deck , cloudy , hints of rain.
