VETERANS INC, WORCESTER, MASS

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around the corner, it's time to put ALL American War Veterans in your hearts! Many vets are not aging gracefully. Some have been down on their luck through being: homeless, unemployed, substance abuse, despondent, depressed,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

divorced, alcoholism,  no family, cigarette and tobacco addiction, lonely and a myriad of other challenges both physical and mental. Fortunately the VA Healthcare System reaches out to us Veterans.. me included.I served a year in Vietnam 1967-1968 as a Radiology Technician. 91p20.


Some soldiers volunteered, I was drafted at age 23.  Fort Knox, Fort Sam Houston,  Fort Dix and Vung Tau I made it to the rank of E-5 and won SOLDIER SOF THE MONTH IN THE 68TH MEDICAL GROUP.


But that's 50 years ago with lots of water over life's dam
