For years, maybe ten or fifteen, I have often wondered what our daily living would be like without the millions of veterans, disabled included, that volunteer their time and talents to make the world a better place. Time is clearly a commodity that is meted out to all without discrimination. It is only with time that we can implement the commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves. Were I not a disabled veteran, I would not have the time to either write this blog, nor assist fellow vets with their claims. My salary is zero. And I love it that way.
