These services are terrific and can be a model for our huge numbers of citizens that aren't veterans that need and deserve them also.
Many of the "medical oroblems" experienced by vets are recognized, finally, caused by unapproved and experimental vaccines such as deadly anthrax. All must submit with no exceptions. And all US military bases are awash in hazmat toxins,
with no protections at all. And the unexploded radioactive bombs left everywhere. Our sainted defense contractors have no responsibility to supply answers, solutions or warnings. Gulf War Syndrome was published result of unapproved experimental vaccines by two young doctors at great personal sacrifice. But this still goes on and money talks....
Curious as to the lack of a hard helmet on County Executive Jan Gardner's head.
Mask or hard hat? The other guy with a mask isn’t wearing a hard hat either…
But the other mask-wearing guy IS wearing strappy open-toed high heels. Very "Nouveau Construction" Chic! I suppose they feel their masks will even provide protection from falling objects or bumping their heads. At least their hair won't get mussed.
