Since the end of the Vietnam war, the United States has had a completely volunteer military to protect the well-being, best interest and freedom of Americans. Coming home from a war-torn area however, is difficult to adjust to and many return with physical and mental disabilities that impair their ability to find jobs and housing. Though the Veterans Outreach Center in Rochester has provided aid to vets and their families in the area since 1973, it has recently received news that $2.1 million will be cut from federal funding. THIS IS NOT OKAY. They served us, now it is our time to serve them!
We, the undersigned, demand a renewal of funding. These men and women give up their lives to move across the world and keep us safe, only to return home and not have a place in society. We, the people, want our tax dollars going towards aiding these vets. We, the people, want our government to protect these vets and help them become functioning members of society again. We want them to receive the aid they need both medically and emotionally. We want the funding to the Rochester Veteran's Outreach to be renewed.
