People in Care homes

I was ask to make a presentation to a group of Verterans and there were some ladies in the crowd and it was interesting. I think they need to treat the older people more like adults instead of children. How can these older people keep their minds going if they are treated like Children less than 5 years. What I presented was an article in the this month's Legion Magazine about Rocky Briar who was a half back in the Glory years of Pttsburg Steeler- I believe they won Super Bowles and I think that it was in arow- I am not sure but anyway the article talked about His experience while in Vietnam as a Draftie. Of Course if we are going to go to War then the whole country needs to be involved and People needs to drafted into the Military. Back to the article - Rocky talks about his experience in the Military. It told how his unit got shot up and he was one of the wounded and his comrades carried him. It got to the point that he was going to be left behind and a hand (black hand ) reached down and carried him to the camp. The man said Soldier you will not be left behind. In the pro's there are many black hands who work with the rest of the team and carry one another out. Rocky went on to say that Civil Rights was the next thing that happened. Isn't time this country pulled together and instead of like the Republicans who seem to work for Big Industry and every one start working for the whole team - that is the average American Citizen. I must have done something right because I was asked back and I will go. Everyone have a Happy New Year and hope that this country learns how to putt together. Don.
