Mac The American

Cartersville, GA

Came across this guy today and he wanted me to get his photo standing next to this monument. He is an Army Veteran and served in combat during the Panama Canal Invasion. Sad thing is he is homeless.

A very moving photograph, I personally feel that veterans have been overlooked and forgotten for too many years.

It seems that those who give so much get so little. Respect and dignity would be a good start.

The short order was carried out in December 1989.

It's not where they serve, it's who they serve.

Thnak you for sharing this with us. How sad a commentary on the American system that so many who served and sacrifced so much for our freedoms end up homeless and forgotten. Thanks for helping us remember.
