How many veterans who fought in WW2 do you think are left?

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 2 points 1 year ago

There are less than 120,000 WWII veterans alive in the United States.

How was that not a given?

You would be surprised how little people know about VA Healthcare, especially children and grandchildren of WWII veterans.

Sure but I meant more as a policy decision from Day 1. How lifetime care for all veterans isn’t a given is a travesty. They earned that, many quite literally in blood. It’s shameful they struggle to get care.
