Veterans: Our Past, Our Present and Our Future

With only a few veterans left from the world wars and over 20,000 Americans wounded in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, there are over 200,000 homeless veterans in this country. Is this how we as a nation thank those citizens who volunteered to fight for our values and rights?

Although there are a few foundations claiming to construct amenities to house veteran families and provide hospitals to help veterans, this is not enough. There are still over 100,000 people being unhelped! After enduring all the heartache and pain throughout their duties in the war to protect this country, veterans need our help. They need our support to get back into real American life. They need help to have the funds to raise their families. A war changes a person, and Americans need to understand this. What would we do without veterans? In the future, if we do not look after our own, we may not have anyone to represent and fight for our country. We cannot forget this. Jim Cook, Democrat for California State Assembly, 10th district understands this. He, more than any other candidate, wants all veteran families to be recognized. Jim Cook undertakes that he will do all he can to improve healthcare and provide readjustment services for veterans and their families. Please show your support for this cause by voting and donating to Jim Cook’s campaign.
