MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – In yet another case of embarrassing incompetence, a VA center has turned away a group of War on Christmas Veterans seeking basic medical care, local sources report.
“They’ve served their country, making great sacrifices to share pictures of the nativity on Facebook or rolling their eyes at Menorahs.” said KellyAnne Morris, a lawyer representing the group. “Now it’s time for this country to give back to them and give them the benefits they’re earned.”
The group of eight veterans Collins represents all thought that the undue burden put on them was a unique event until each met one another in VA waiting rooms. Slowly, the stories came to light — Warriors against phrases like “Happy Holidays” stymied in paperwork, waiting for hours on the phone, all to be told that their service wasn’t good enough.
