NPR is your primary news source? While on the drive home today I was listening to "The News"....From my perspective, that is equally disturbing, as the content of your post..

I love your sentiment, but this is a tough hobby(for reasons already posted, and many more), to use as a platform for said sentiment. Individual effort on our part, in any way shape or form, is the best we can do for out valued veterans! As a veteran myself, and a very concerned citizen, I have found that spending time with returning service men, seems to be most appreciated. In our age where most will piss away hours on social media, then say that they barely have time to breathe with their daily routine, carving out time to spend talking to, or even just sitting and listening to a veteran seems to be well appreciated. The pinball angle certainly could have some therapeutic benefits!!! Hillary say's that the whole V.A. deal is a right wing attack vehicle, and we should all listen to her, as we know how much she appreciates the military...I digress, sorry.....
