The other day driving and I see a man in his late 20's to mid 30s in a wheelchair crossing the street in front of me.
He had prosthetics below both knees and a backpack on the back of his wheelchair, scruff on his face and looking as if he was homeless.
Believing he's a military vet, I go up the street..make a u-turn and catch up to the guy.
I asked if he didn't mind me asking, how did he lose his legs. He welled up a little and explained he lost them in Iraq. I told him that he didn't need to go into it any more than that and thanks for his sacrifice. Also, that I knew it wasn't much but I offered him some money as his appearance suggested he was on the outs pretty bad and possibly homeless.
Why the fuck is any US Military Vet homeless??? Not to mention someone who gave two stilts for his country???
