Because the Barack Obama presidency has been such a consistent parade of failures, with each week bringing a new tale of woe, corruption, and incompetence, it’s easy to forget perhaps his greatest failure: the wholesale abuse and neglect of our combat veterans. This story illustrates just how bad it’s become.
The mother of an injured Army veteran of the Iraq war is selling a rare letter from President Obama to cover her son’s medical and personal expenses despite the president’s handwritten promise to do “everything we can over the next four years to support your family.”
Cherry McKimmey told Secrets, “Something good might as well come out of that. It is doing no good lying in my drawer. It means absolutely nothing to me.”
She received the note from Obama in July 2009 after a non-stop effort to beg federal officials to help her son, David McKimmey.
McKimmey was campaigning for the the Veterans Administration to do more to help him recover from injuries for which he received the Bronze Star with Valor for crawling back into a truck fire to save two soldiers who eventually died. He suffered burns to his face and hands is still likely to lose his leg.
McKimmey is an American hero who deserves the best care imaginable. The Obama administration’s failure to act on his behalf is a total disgrace.
