Comment on Soldier Who Captured Saddam is Sick, But Left to Rot By VA by sfcdcarr

I can not believe the VA is treating one of our veterans like this. Besides the fact that SPC Cruz helped capture that worthless hussein, he had to make countless decisions on whether or not the man, woman, or child was a friend or hostile liar trying to take him out. First of all, the NCO should not have let him go without making sure his medical records were sufficiently correct and adequately contained. Second, the VA should spend some of that money given to them and aid this Soldier in need of medical attention. I am also an Iraq war veteran as well as a Soldier diagnosed with PTSD. I know the issues he is going through and can not do so without help. There has to be something that can be done about this. Does anyone know how we can help this Soldier?????

[...] Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The two had joined forces as Bamford & Martin the previous year to sell cars made by Singer from premises in Callow Street, London. Martin raced specials at the Aston Hill near Aston Clinton, and the pair decided to make their own vehicles. The first car to be named Aston Martin was created by Martin by fitting a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine to the chassis of a 1908 Isotta-Fraschini.
