I would just like Mrs. Obama to know the appalling treatment of our wounded vets, since she so graciously dedicated the world series to them. I am truly ashamed and heartbroken about this. My son former Marine Sgt., Dallas Bolen, Jr. has been treated very bad. The VA promised him the world, and while he was waiting, he lost his world. Someone needs to do a thorough investigation into this. I am a proud American, but I am not proud of this. You send these men over to do battle, but when come back broken in every way, you turn your back on them. The Marines have a saying, “No one left behind.” Too bad the VA and the US Government doesn’t feel or act the same way. For shame on all of the bureaucrats who can keep doing what they are doing thanks to the brave men and women, like my son, who risk their bodies and their minds for them. FOR SHAME! By the way, my son was also decorated. He also did Toys for Tots, and anything else he could do to help others.
Thank you,
Mrs. Dorothy Bolen, a very proud parent of a US Marine
