On March 19, 2009, President Obama vowed: “We have a sacred trust with those who wear the uniform of the United States of America.”

Why does his Administration continue to fight against the ACLU lawsuit and Veterans For Common Sense lawsuit that seeks to secure proper healthcare and shelter for our disabled and disadvantaged Veterans, just as Mr. Obama promised ?

With friends like this for our Veterans, who needs enemies?

President Obama’s words three years and two months ago:

“For their service and sacrifice, warm words of thanks from a grateful nation are more than warranted, but they aren't nearly enough. We also owe our veterans the care they were promised and the benefits that they have earned. We have a sacred trust with those who wear the uniform of the United States of America. It's a commitment that begins at enlistment, and it must never end. But we know that for too long, we've fallen short of meeting that commitment. Too many wounded warriors go without the care that they need. Too many veterans don't receive the support that they've earned. Too many who once wore our nation's uniform now sleep in our nation's streets.”

Mr. President, you made a promise to our Veterans. Now keep it, and drop your Administration's defense against both lawsuits.

God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
