CENSORSHIP
Sacramento Bee
CENSORED BY THE SACRAMENTO BEE? Just when we sat about
praising the Bee for covering this national disgrace, I find they
deleted the first comment posted to the article. WHY? Too many FACTS?
Links to the sources? Honoring a hero soldier?
Thank you Mr. Adams! We know the saga all to
well. Here are some FACTS:
Current Dept. of Veterans Affairs BACKLOGGED CASES: 899,242 with
630,829 of them over four months old and in some cases for
years! SOURCE:

Our allied nonprofit is the court of last resort for Military
Caseworkers when the VA fails or the large well funded and
highly advertised national charities find some reason to reject
a request. We shouldn't have to do this:
Peter's Story
While this Soldier of the Year in 2009 never complains and
appreciates the excellent medical care he has received overall,
he has been part of the nearly 1 million backlogged VA cases
that has been devastating to him, his family and so many other
actual combat injured veterans. Once processed and rated by the
VA, most veterans receive compensation to help offset the cost
of their disability. In this case, the VA has “lost” his files
three times since 2006. In most cases, that means starting over.
As long as these Wounded Warrior’s claims are backlogged, they
have no access to compensation.
We're just a very small all-volunteer nonprofit where 100% of
donor's contributions goes to paying bills for these wounded
warriors. We pay our own bills out of our own pockets and have
no paid staff or board members. I ask myself every day, why are
we even needed. I suppose only First Sergeant Peter Lara can
best answer that question.

Peter Joseph Lara - The government will
listen when a soldier losses it at the VA hospital one day and
just does something stupid because they are not getting any help
just being told make an appointment and go see a doctor that
shouldn't be a doctor, they have board members that shouldn't be
board members they are back logged because they don't do the
shit right the first time and don't know what the hell they are
doing.
I have had 4 different doctors and staff tell me something
different for the something and no one takes responsibility for
screwing up. Soldiers wait and wait just to get that letter in
the mail that says ur under review and u have to do it all over
again because of a messup no sorry or who messed up just have to
do it over again and wait 6 months for them to do nothing. But
hey at least u moved up in status u went from the white group to
the blue what ever the hell that means and ull get a $10 check
in the mail for going to ur appointment because the VA wants to
take care of you haha....
I have called there a hundred times and asked who, how, or when
do I get my back pay of 40k and no body knows lol. I actually
had one lady tell me u will get it when u get it after waiting
on phone for 2 hrs being passed back and forth to different
operators trying to get to the right person to answer ur
question then mysteriously the call gets dropped and u have to
start all over again. So they wonder why a Vet losses it
eventually !!!!!
