My son, a single guy, told me that after he takes what deductions he is entitled to, he is eligible for food stamps.. now add a family in there.. that suxs in my book...

Our Vets... no free houses, but force the VA to do its job.. to put service connected problems first in line.. instead the back or somewhere in the middle.. you want to do something for our guys... become a Vets Advocate.. take the time to educate yourself about the issues then advocate for a Vet needing medical care in a VA who is stymied by the system..

Hijack over...back to Stealerships...

Ma'am,

Please tell your son thank you for his service.

In any case, I still believe that Our United States Veterans should not have to pay for a car, a house, or anything. I am just twisted that way...and though my dearly departed Uncle, an Army WWII veteran would not like me saying so, I will not be swayed...

But rest assured Armymom, I DO take Our Vets causes seriously! If I didn't, I would not have stuck around on this board for so long, for I love Our Vets, Ma'am, am I am sure you do.

Holly
