An op-ed written by Richard Pena was featured in the Saturday, May 24, 2014 issue of the Austin American Statesman! The piece focused on the issue of a national strategy for our suffering veterans! We need to remember that the war is not over when our troops come home, but rather it is just beginning for our veterans.
The experiences and the horrors witnessed by our troops is something that the average American could never imagine. Pena's article was primarily focused on the issue of our older veterans, particularly those who fought in Vietnam. "Many Vietnam veterans continue to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or addictions" (Pena). Pena states that the least we can do for our aging Vietnam veterans as well as our Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, is to take care of these injuries brought about by the wars.
