Letter To Obama

Letter to Obama

Dear Mr. President,
In your days in office, there are many pressing issues that need to be addressed. I am sure you struggle with many tough decisions about the economy everyday. This is an important issue but you must never forget our troops. I am not implying that you are, I just am bringing the issue to you. IAVA has two issues that I feel are incredible important about our troops. First would be the Prioritizing the veterans in the economic stimulus package. I feel the people who deserve the money that you promised America, would be our troops who fight to defend this great Nation. The second issue I think IAVA makes a great point on is the aggressive address to our troops’ mental health injuries. I think some of our troops have either had extremely rough experiences in the armed forces and they need to be heard by someone who cares. I also would like to stress how it is important that they come to us, instead of making every troop have to deal with counseling that they may not have to deal with. I feel the military and citizens are pushing for every troop and making them feel bad for what they have done so they suffer from PTSD. This is not the case for everyone and should be handled very carefully. Thank you for hearing the words that I have to say and I hope you take them into consideration.

Sincerely,
Brett Cowley
