I second scottyqtp Thank You!

What a wonderful program this is.

We waste so much money in this Country for worthless things and worthless programs.
It is about time we gave back to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for us.

Congratulations on your recovery.

What a great program this is! As I sit and read this article, I hear Hillary in the background.... how many dollars have been spent on these political campaigns...I think it would speak volumes if just one of these candidates rather then campaign, would take those funds and donate that money to an organization like this... It seems to be such an easy solution!! I guess our society deems it is far more important to spend countless dollars on commercials and transportation for these campaigns then to support causes that will ultimitley help our fellow american.
God Bless All of our Troops and thank you for what you have done for this country!!

Do whatever is necessary to make our government do right by all veterans,and by all serving troops! If we can spend one hundred and seventy billion dollars a year to fight a war in Iraq,we can certainly afford to spend whatever it takes to provide the care needed by the men and women who are fighting that very same war !!!

As a young man I idolized our country,our government and our principles. I joined up went to vietnam participating in and watching the horrors of war all around me.
We would go in and people would die or worse to take a section of ground just to pull out in short order so that the nva or cong could move back in.
Loss after loss from Korea right up through desert storm.
How must a young idealistic person feel when misled and taught that there is no success. My government taught me that failure was the only way, another lesson that I learned very well.
Let us please not allow our troops to fail in Iraq also. Let their service to our country fill them with pride.
The next time we decide to have a war, let the people who want it take the lead. Who among them will be point man?

The effectiveness of Solder On comes from addressing all aspects of these veterans' lives that are unmanagable.
