We lost over 7000 Hero's in just Iraq and Afganistan! This just scratches the surface counting the number of Hero's we have lost during the last 100 years. WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, The Gulf War, Iraq, and Afganistan. In remembering those who we have lost , take a moment to thank their families who have suffered those losses.

I agree that we should remember all the Veterans, gone before us. I would like to add one more thing. Let us all remember the Veterans who died as they could not get proper health care in time. In addition, there is a war that people want to forget: the Cold War. Those Veterans cannot get many benefits as the Cold war was not a war according to the Veterans Administration. Then, why is it called the Cold War? People serving in the Cold War should at least get a service Medal. More and more politicians agree and vote for that, but the Department of Defense prevents this from happening. Also, why does there have to be a Means Test for any Veteran? People who served in any capacity should get all the benefits. So, let us remember all this and do something about the injustice.

It will take a photo of any text and convert it to the spoken word. I just took a picture of my computer screen on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and listened to it with VOXDOX. It is free. Try it, it is really cool. Dwight
