From Name: From Email: To Name: To Email: Optional Message: Don't blame our disabled veterans for benefit costs from Democrat & Chronicle Ret. Air Force veteran Peter J. Glennon writes: Who on this earth would blame disabled veterans for causing a bloated federal budget? Only the author of a recent op-ed published by The New York Times. The title alone, "The Risk of Over-Thanking Our Veterans," made this retired Air Force officer's blood boil. I spent more than 24 years in the military. I work with veterans every day in my community. I have been surrounded by veterans my entire life. Never once have I thought of blaming veterans, let alone those who returned to us injured from distant battlefields. more 7701 Las Colinas Blvd., Ste. 800, Irving, TX 75063
