We’re at 800 signatures — and every single one of them represents someone who believes combat-injured, medically retired veterans deserve better than the way they’ve been treated.
Over the next few days, people all over the country are going to be hearing about what’s happening to these veterans. Some will be seeing it for the first time. Most have no idea what medically retired combat vets live with — the injuries, the surgeries, the disability paperwork, the financial uncertainty stacked on top of the trauma.
This moment matters because the more people understand the reality behind those words — “medically retired combat-injured veteran” — the harder it becomes for anyone to look away or dismiss them as a number on a budget line.
If you’ve taken time to read, to care, to stand with the veterans who came home with life-changing wounds: thank you. Your voice is part of the reason this story is finally starting to be seen.
In the days ahead, awareness is everything. The more neighbors, coworkers, family members, and friends who actually see what’s happening, the harder it is for this issue to be ignored or explained away.
Thank you for being part of making sure these stories — and these veterans — are not forgotten.
Please share this petition with 5 friends and family members you know will sign if you ask them for their support. Thank you!
