America's Military History of Campaigns
"It is the soldier, not the
reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the soldier, who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Veterans returning from active duty face a unique set of challenges, especially if they have been injured. Following years of service and the resulting wear and tear on the body and mind, it is not uncommon for veterans to require assistance with activities of daily living. Fortunately for veterans and their caregivers, there are assisted living options that can help make the long-term care process smoother for all involved. In general, there are two ways eligible veterans can obtain assistance with long-term care living options: they can receive benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or they can apply for residency in a Veteran's Home. Veterans who served in the active military and were separated under any condition other than dishonorable may qualify for VA health care benefits. Current and former members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty by a federal order or completed the full period for which they were called or ordered to active duty may also be eligible.

Oath
Keepers
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving
military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath all
military and police take to "defend the Constitution against all enemies,
foreign and domestic."
That oath, mandated by Article VI of the Constitution itself, is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and Oath Keepers declare that they will not obey unconstitutional orders, such as orders to disarm the American people, to conduct warrantless searches, or to detain Americans as "enemy combatants" in violation of their ancient right to jury trial. Oath Keepers reaches out to both current serving and veterans to remind them of their oaths, to teach them more about the Constitution they swore to defend, and to inspire them to defend it.
Distinguishing
between Patriots and cowards, our favorite Founder, Samuel Adams, said:
&"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should
be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better
than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of
freedom...crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains sit
lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
PatriotPost.us Honoring those who risked,
sacrificed, and paid the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may enjoy life, liberty,
freedom, the pursuit of happiness and MTV. More than 41 million men and women
have served in the Armed Forces of this country and over a million have died
defending it.
