U.S. Veterans

Your picture of protest against declining health care benefits for veterans (Nov. 12) depicts a ridiculous situation in California. At the same time we taxpayers are spending $100 million annually for prenatal care for illegal alien mothers-to-be and providing free education, housing, health care and other benefits for hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who illegally entered this country, we turn our backs on members of the “greatest generation” of our own citizens. As a veteran, I am saddened. As a citizen, I am disgusted.
