SAMPLE:
Vietnam
Veterans have never had the respect they deserve. When they returned home from an unpopular
war, they were spit on, yelled at, and called “baby killers.” Unfortunately for them, their mistreatment is
ongoing. In fact, today, most Vietnam veterans are suffering from poor health care
and denial of services they deserve. After serving in the war, when these men and women returned
home, the government let them down. 80%
of Vietnam veterans don’t use or have access to proper health care, and this is
because the government doesn’t want them to.
As they slowly die off from diseases related to their service, including
the effects of PTSD, these veterans have one last hope to get the care they
need, and that hope is us. Vietnam veterans deserve the government to recognize and take
responsibility for the medical traumas these veterans face today because (1) the veterans deserve it, (2)most of the
problems are treatable, and (3) treating these service members now will reduce
the costs of care in the long run.
