While the United States thanks its war veterans and Obama somberly strolls along in Arlington National Cemetery, Vietnam Veteran Dale sits in his motorized wheelchair — dying — on the streets of America.

“To the parents who watch their sons and daughters go off to war, and the children who wonder when mom and dad is coming home. To all our wounded warriors, and to the families who laid a loved one to rest. America will not let you down. We will take care of our own.”
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States
“America will not let you down. We will take care of our own.”
“America will not let you down. We will take care of our own.”
No. That’s not an editorial mistake. I just wanted to let it sink in.
Our United States government is so enamored with The Left fighting with The Right. The Right fighting with The Left — Nutbags vs. Scumbags/Scumbags vs. Nutbags — it could care less about veterans dying on our own streets here in America.
While they’re dying at Ft. Hood, veterans are also dying on the goldfoil-wrapped streets of the greatest nation on earth. And you don’t care, America. You walk, ride, jog and drive past them everyday. You just don’t care.
Dale would like to tell you his story.
Produced by Mark Horvath InvisiblePeople.tv
Over the summer, InvisiblePeople.tv embarked upon a journey across America to document the homeless issue in this great country. [Homeless In America: “I fell from ground zero.”]
Dale, a disabled Vietnam Veteran, happened to catch Mr. Horvath’s eye. He says to Dale, “I just wanted to meet you.” When was the last time you said that to a homeless veteran?
I didn’t think so.
Did you notice when Horvath asks Dale if he had three wishes, what would he wish for? And Dale always addressed Horvath with, “Sir.”
Horvath: “If you had three wishes, what would they be?”
Dale: [laughs] “Well, I tell you what. Three wishes? Uh, well uh, I wished that all the poor people were rich. And, uh, let me see. [he breaksdown] We could bring back all the deceased people that, uh, were really good people. And the third was, I could improve myself.” [laughs]
Where are all the dentists who travel thousands of miles overseas, outside of America, to restore smiles to children with clef palates? Where are all the doctors who travel overseas to give basic medical care to tribes in foreign nations? Where are all the surgeons who travel overseas to play golf on foreign turf and perform a few operations to make the trip worthwhile?
Where are you America?
The Real Un-Hollywoodized Vietnam
Dale did two tours in Vietnam. You know. It’s the war Hollywood says defenseless Vietnamese in black pajamas were killed by American G.I.s (that’s Government Issue to you young-uns; you know, G.I. Joe?) and slaughtered babies with bayonets (according to U.S. Senator John Kerry).
Did you notice Dale says he has to make a co-payment to the Veteran’s Administration Hospital to get medical help? He says they’re not much help, “You might get some free coffee and donuts every once in a while.”
And you want a government-run health care system, America? Forget about who’s paying for it. You really want government to run the health care system?
Dale says he’s been homeless for about four years. Notice when Horvath asked him about his wishes, he used his last (dying) wish for himself. Wouldn’t it have been Hollywood-cute if a five year old said that instead of a weathered, beaten-down Vietnam Vet dying in the streets of America?
Could you survive on the streets, at night, with no food, no water and no health care, America?
I didn’t think so.
Call To Action America
Get up off your Starbucks-widened butts and ask your representative in Congress, you know, the ones taking bribes with hookers, what they’re doing about the homeless situation with veterans in America.
Then ask yourself, “What am I doing?”
As Bono says, “Am I buggin’ you? I didn’t mean to bug you.”
God bless our veterans — because America doesn’t. Or, do we?

[Editor's Note: No facts have been checked in this post. MSM doesn't, so why should I? Is Dale telling the truth? You decide America.]
