Considering the amount of money our politicians "rake" in and what they propose to do, this is sad!

“(The soldier had) been in here the week (before Thanksgiving),” says Vandenbosch. “He brought it in the following week, I purchased it from him, and put it on display.”
Vandenbosch says the active duty solider, on leave from Afghanistan, was reluctant to sell the medal at first, but like a lot of people, he needed a little extra cash for the holiday season. So, the soldier gave up one of his two Purple Hearts -- something he almost gave his life to get.

Re: Pretty darn sad if you ask me!
Do you really think those folks give a rats a$$ about the country or the people in it. The politicions have one igenda. Take care of themselves first and to hell with the rest of the country. They rake in all that money, and the very folks that would give their lives for them and our country get very little pay and even less respect.
