Hidden costs of caregiving: Meet the kids taking care of wounded veterans tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld
About 2.3 million American kids are living with a disabled veteran in their home - a number researchers said is likely an undercount, but despite their numbers, military caregiving kids are often left out of the conversation on how our country takes care of those who served.

@TucsonSentinel You shoud retitle this article "Meet the children doing the Veteran Administration's Job: How the Government is Failing To Live Up To Its Committments to the Nation's Wounded Veterans"

Stop burying the lede and letting the government off the hook. They owe us. It is NOT AN ENTITLEMENT.

@Wyatt_H_Knott I agree. When I signed my enlistment papers, that formed a legally binding contract between the #USGovt and me. Part of that contract was #VA benefits and care. My VA benefits were paid for in blood, sweat and tears. It adds insult to injury to have loser #bonespurs taking away my benefits.

@TucsonSentinel This is sad. Even as a vet (Vietnam 1969) I never thought of the impact on the kids of wounded vets.
