I would say my life is a hell of a lot better than when I was drafted in the 1970 lottery and my choice to not pursue a student deferment. And I would hope that I and the other service organizations that have assisted in changing the lives many service members that where damaged by the many wars/battales they served in. I have heard countless members say when they got out they had no idea of the benefits they earned. In my 20 plus in assisting Vets get what they rightfully deserve from a grateful nation that may have changed the notion that this country has abandoned them.
