	<description>Regardless of your feelings about war or the current administration, you should respect the sacrifices made by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces while fighting honorably under the U.S. Flag. As a nation, we have a duty to make sure that they are taken care of properly when they return to civilian life. We must make sure that they are not subjected to the horrors of war, in our name, and then subjected to abandonment and abuse when they return home. This website will record their lives as veterans using news reports, blog posts and video. Hopefully, it will show more good than bad. Hopefully, the bad will be seen as a national disgrace and acted upon.</description>
