John Cory | October Veterans<--A Good, Refreshing Read

John Cory | October Veterans: " Spc. Johnson lives out of his car and is dunned by the government for the repayment of his re-enlistment bonus. He cannot fulfill his re-enlistment contract because he was disabled in the war. Sgt. Gill used to be a policeman, but with a damaged and useless leg, he can no longer be a cop. There is no program or plan for how he can transition and make a living in civilian life. Sgt. Damon was a mechanic and electrician before losing both his arms in Iraq. Unlike Harold Russell of �The Best Years of Our Lives,� there is no movie role for Sgt. Damon. And Sgt. Kelly, who lost a leg, talked about how injured soldiers at Walter Reed, had to borrow money or beg from charities to raise cash for their families to come visit. "
