We Don’t Forget Disabled Soldiers

     “I will never leave a fallen comrade” the most important ethos when we talk about the United States disabled soldiers. Sometime people remember the soldiers that come back well or passed away on the field, but most of the time people forget the soldiers, still live, that lose his/her arm, leg or other part of the body on duty. These people have normal live, most of the time out of the U.S Army, but are humans that need survive and sometimes when they go to look a job, they find the doors closed. Owners of different company think that people without some part of the body can’t do a great job. I think that these people need a time for show us if he/she is capable for do the job. If he/she can do it, why the owner can choose him/ her for the job? This close doors and comments of people that forget the service of these soldiers sometimes create a personal depression; because these factors are in addition of the first step that is change the normal life that they live as an active duty soldier. For these forgotten people I dedicate this blog.

     In 2014 the federal government opens the American Veterans Disabled for Live Memorial and is located in the C Street, close to the U.S. Capitol. President Obama went to the opening and talked to more than 3,000 veterans that participated of this activity. "You had your whole lives ahead of you, but you were willing to risk all of this land that we love" (President Obama). In the memorial we can see some transparent panels with quotes of wounded soldiers, historical images of veterans and fountains in form of star. It is a good place where you can see the reality that disabled soldiers lived and live every day and show respect for these warriors.

           

            We need have an open mind and understand that the society can’t put in a trash can good people that give everything for the United States, because they are disabled soldier. The comeback for these over 4,000 heroes are very difficult and the minimums thing that we can do is respect their and if we have a job opportunity and this person can do the job, give the job to this person. They have needs like you and me, so let go to start with some initiative of help. Not everybody put away the disabled veterans, some people had the initiative and began different projects for help, for these people, thanks for your input and in short time we will have more helpers! We can help in their new style of live and “never leave a fallen comrade”.
