Good evening! Here is my introduction post and here is a recent post that I am extremely proud of. I think I am sitting on approximately 12-13 shares including ones I have won and purchased. I receive a .05 vote from SBI2 on each of my posts.

I have never served in the military, but I have a special place in my heart for the veterans who have made sacrifices and served to protect our basic freedoms. Regardless of your political leanings, I feel most agree that we(U.S.) have exceedingly failed our veterans who have served in the military. The reintroduction into society is fraught with obstacles and our government does little to ease this transition.

It is absolutely appalling to me to consider that approximately 22 veterans commit suicide each day! Now you will hear both Left and Right media outlets saying those numbers are skewed and it is lower, but is that even relevant?!? Whether it is 22, 5, or even 1, it is too many. We made a contract with these brave men and women. We said, "Hey, you go do the things we don't want to and we'll take care of you when you are broken and bloodied." We have severely broken our contract and we should be ashamed.

That being said, extra shares in #steembasicincome would allow me to increase the time I could volunteer and money I could donate to the many worthy organizations already in place fighting this shameful epidemic. I'm sorry if this came across as political in nature, that is not my intention. I meant it to come across as humanity in nature. Thank you again for my previous sponsorships and thank you for additional opportunities.
