Firstly, I'm SO sorry to hear you got hit with Covid!! yikes. My 3-week case really hit hard. I hope you are on the mend and feeling stronger each day.

Thank you for this dive. I addressed our failings towards vets in 2021 ("Before We Celebrate Another Holiday") and am pleased that you offer additional resources and thoughts I never considered. We absolutely fail our vets in this country on so many levels and it seems unconscionable to me. I'm absolutely amazed every time funding for the VA gets cut during the budget process - and Republicans are largely doing the cutting!! Additionally, even updating the VA medical records system (terribly antiquated and not fully automated) is a $16 BILLION project that is not going well. All this and yet our country does a whole lot of flag flying and verbal thanks. But honestly, What would it take for us to make vets a priority? :(
