I was taught well, now I always have to ask: "Trust your government, ask a Vet?" I am not a poet or writer of any type. The following came from the heart one day after another battle with the fine govt officials that work at the VA.
To show my honor and respect to The Veteran, I capitalized the first letter on certain words only.

"AMERICA TAKES BETTER CARE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS THAN HER VETERANS"

THE AMERICAN VET

I wear black for the Oppressed and Homeless Vet,
the pride is still within Him, He hasn't given up yet.

One who was once a very Proud Warrior who bravely went when called
because of what was taught to believe in, They wanted to give Their all.
but now when He needs His countries help, no one answers His call.

everyone is so afraid of Him by the way He looks and smells,
His drunken stupor or drug induced high
they don't understand or know Him as they pass Him by.
they don't know of all the promises made to Him by the country He once so proudly served,
that now when He needs their help He finds they were nothing but lies.

they don't know of the battles that He still fights waging in His memories dreams and mind.
takes the drugs and alcohol to help Him to survive and forget on leaving His Brothers behind. but He will always be with Them, in memories, dreams and mind.

He desperately needs His countries help because of firefights and the horrors of war,
His country won’t answer Him, His country doesn't need Him anymore

now His Brothers Names are written and placed high upon a wall,
They watch Him come, to search for Them, searching for Them all.
and when Their country needed Them They didn't fail the call

and now when He needs His country His country doesn't give a damn.
but for all that He believes in He will still make His stand.
for it's just another day knowing that He and His Brothers had given Their best,
but only when GOD says "Welcome Home My Sons" will They get Their eternal rest.

A very proud Nam / Beirut U.S. NAVY veteran of 21 years service. Old School Biker born and raised in West "By GOD" Virignia. If you can't handle being told the truth, then I am the wrong person to ask. My life style is not for everyone but it's the one I have chosen. I'm still old fashion in a lot of my beliefs and how I live. A mans' word and a firm handshake are his bond, if broken he's lost all respect and accountability with me. It's where I take calling someone a Brother serious and not because it sounds good or because everyone says it.
When I call you Brother you've earned it, why? ... because I know you have walked in my shoes, and that you have my "6" and "my play" in any situation.
I don't care or make an issue of what you ride as long as you're in the wind.

My dad taught me when I was a young boy to treat a woman with the utmost respect until they show you they don't want it or deserve it. I still say yes ma'am & no ma'am, I still open doors for a woman, I still pull their chair out for them at restaurants, I still stand when a woman enters a room, and I still help women with their coats.

For me personally there's nothing better than being in the wind with Brothers, having a good looking sexy old lady who knows she is, enjoys riding bitch because I want her close to me where I can reach back squeeze her leg letting her know I'm thinking of her and appreciate her being there, who will stand by me and is not afraid to let the world know vocally or by attitude "Yea this is my old man, and I am with him!", one who is classy in her own way and still not afraid to be rowdy and naughty especially with, and for me. This is another reason why I enjoy treating a woman like a lady and placing her first.

The picture on my player is of one of the finest ladies that ever sailed the sea for the United States Navy. She was everything when we were in the wind, especially sexy, good looking and her knowing it and I had the privilage and honor to serve 4 years aboard during my service to GOD and my country:
