Today is Veterans Day --- But as many as 30,000 Veterans can not enjoy it in the United States. They have been sent to at least 30 other countries and can not return to the country they love.
THEY HAVE BEEN DEPORTED.
Sent back to countries they may not even remember. Sent back to countries where they may not even know the language. Sent back after being promised a fast track to citizenship.
Many were infants when they came to the US. They grew up in the US. They attended school in the US. They raised families in the US.
Now they can not see their families. They can not go to class reunions. They can not receive their Veteran's benefits. They can not march in a Veterans Day parade.
These are individuals who, at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for an amount of ‘up to and including their life.’
They served like every other Veteran but have been betrayed by the country they served.
And when you think of Veterans Day -- Please remember these forgotten Veterans.
