Helping a 5 th mech Vietnam vet I'll help you out bro

I’ll help you out of love you were fucked from the go. I never get involved in my wife’s rental properties me I’m a union teamster my wife a attorney. My friend ray sgt major a 506th PIR man ripcord

Ray is retired sgt major approached me as he is Vietnam vet and works with Vietnam vets homeless or drugs. about renting this man apartment. Dude was 5 th mech infantry Vietnam today he’s 69 years old. So I said to my wife she is a attorney hey can we help this dude out. Talking with this guy man I felt he never got any help from war from VA.

I lined this dude out with clothes and pair of shoes were same build tall lanky . No brag on my part but he just broke my heart being neglected for 4 decades mental wounds as well. Just made me sad as former infantry soldier.

It’s shameful how so many vets have slipped through the cracks. I hope a total enema in Washington next January will do some good.

We can and must do so much better to help our Military and their families. My heart goes out to them.

Thank you TEB. Helping others is rewarding and feels good in your heart.
