Dear Texas Congressional Members;
(sent to both Senators and Max Sandlin)
Recently
I
have
read
the
sordid
story
in
US
NEWS
AND
WORLD
REPORT
issue
of
April
16th,
on
the
deplorable
treatment
and
physical
evaluations
accorded
by
the
Defense
Department
and
other
military
agencies
as
rendered
to
wounded
and
physically
disabled
personnel
wounded
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan.
Many
of
these
young
people
will
suffer
far
more
in
their
continuance
of
life
and
family
than
they
would
have
had
they
been
killed
in
action.
This is a most shocking and demeaning revelation of the sordid responses which our country, the most prosperous in the world, is treating our young people who have put their bodies on the line for our country. I urge you, your staff, and fellow members of congress, civic, political or charitable organizations everywhere with whom you are in contact, to bring these deplorable conditions to the public awareness.
I plan a campaign to contact news media to disseminate this shocking information to the public and I would anticipate and appreciate the responses that each of you undertake to correct and alleviate these conditions. I would be pleased to hear from each of you what exactly you are proposing to rectify this issue. Thank you for your time here.
Yours truly, Ted Heller, Holly Lake Ranch (letter sent to 8 other papers all over the USA)
