A Nations Gratitude? Who Watched?

Not really knowing what the numbers are I'm only making a guess. Probably not many outside of the Military and possibly some Veterans communities, also the always few, out of the millions in population, especially those that start organizations in picking up the slack of that the constantly, especially this past decade, underfunded VA can't and need to fight for funding to keep their caring orgs. going in helping the veterans, those who serve don't serve little groups around the country of caring citizens we serve the whole Country, that Nation! Why do I guess that? Because no National TV Channel carried the dinner, C-Span aired it and streamed it, the White House streamed it, so it wasn't because there were no camera's allowed. Didn't see much on the social online sites mixed in with the political etc. and personal posts, nor did I see anything on the popular interactive online news and interactive blog sites, prior to or while the speeches at the dinner were being made, nor the next day.

Iraq War vets honored at White House dinner
03/01/2012 - More than 70 veterans of Operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn represented the tens of thousands of U.S. troops who have served in Iraq since 2003. The White House held a dinner to recognize their efforts, as well as those who support them.

I had a thought prior to the dinner, wondering how the comparison would be with the Dinner Honoring the Iraq Veterans, some now In-Theater Afghanistan, compared to the delayed to Monday night running of the Daytona 500. The day after, yesterday, I caught only a very few clips on News outlets, local, national and online, about the dinner and none leading off any, {but boy howdy, be an extremist conservative online blogger, that called himself a journalist, who's claim to fame was attacking and destroying others with heavily edited video's and especially his words lacking total civility, who dies suddenly at the age of 43, looking much older then that, and not only all the news outlets report but the internet Lights Up all day some on same already start conspiracy theories about the sudden death.} nor were they on each half hour of local news which now cover a couple of hours of early evening TV viewing.

A Nations Gratitude, DeJa-Vu all over again, and again, and again........! No different then previous! Ask a veteran of 'Operation Desert Storm' who's suffering from the many related ailments of Gulf War Syndrome and the many Injuries of War, or the families have the many who had suffered and have passed on and those family care givers of Veterans up till recently, as to the most recent prior to these two wars and them the continuation of, just how how long the nations gratitude lasted after the parades of flag waving patriotism!

Welcome Home Little Brothers and Sisters!!
And there will Still be No Demand for Sacrifice by Country!!
No Revenues = No Sacrifice = No Support = DeJa-Vu all over again!. Now a decade and counting added to the previous decades of under funding the VA, while the peoples reps Still try and lay blame on the Agency, after rubber stamping wars and costs of and those represented cheer on these wars!

While the wealthy and other investors garner their booty, still, from both and many citizens have the chutz·pa to call themselves more patriotic{?} then others wrapped in those false flags, using false slogans and various cheap symbols of!
