Banished Veterans
Anyone want to help these guys please let me know. I had one of them (Fabian) on my radio show twice and was so angry each time about it. He was awarded a medal by President Clinton for saving his commander in Kosovo and a judge in California banished him for a bounced check caused by loss of his job. You can see his picture at http://www.banishedveterans.info/ and other veterans who have been banished. I could go into their stories but it would take awhile so please if you can do anything to help these guys by some veterans group, contacts to help get their stories out or just talk about it to your community it would help. If you want to talk to me about it feel free to PM me here.

1. We don't need to help veterans, disabled or otherwise....
...just stick a little yellow ribbon on your car. That'll cover it.

2. Thanks, Sarge
I caught your show with Fabian, and I've been to the website.

One thing that would help is more detail on Fabian's case. It would be nice to be able to identify what the medal was, and to have the citation quoted as to what he received it for. Same for the court case. Are there transcripts? What did the judge say? There might be useful information there. And a photo of Fabian being decorated by the President would be very helpful.

Thorough documentation in all of these cases is important. It gives supporters the ammunition they need to fight for justice for these men.

3. I not only agree with you
but I got the feeling this is also about "saving money" by not having to cover their medical care.

Sick... of course.

4. sure I will gladly give any information asked for, but
unfortunately I no longer have the radio show to continue to interview Fabian. I do have contact with him (he just called me yesterday) and will just have to settle to get the story out here since this is where the most people who might get involved. However so far I have seen the outrage and motivation on this I had thought would happen.
