  • FOX5 Surprise Squad's Cassandra Jones visited a local grocery store in Boulder City, Nevada to surprise shoppers with an unexpected turkey-trot to get them ready for Thanksgiving... but it was one veteran's story that got us choked-up.

      Reminds me of my dad. He refused to get his surgery done at the VA because he said there are people that deserve it more then him. He served in Vietnam and got ripped up by shrapnel and still refused help, won’t even take a free meal from a local restaurant on Veterans Day.

      No disrespect, but your sentiments are easily said through a CZcams comment. Thank you for that. But, when you see a man/women in public that has served, please thank them. When you see a man/women that has served across from you in an interview, please hire them. When you see a prior service member struggling with drug abuse or alcoholism, find a way to find them help. It is the little things in life that mean the most for us. Most of those little things involve your personal help. The reason why that man cried is because that never happens for veterans in any capacity. Those tears are the pain of being ignored, looked over, disrespected, and ashamed. Thank a veteran in the best way possible. Help that veteran succeed in life.

    As a Brit I admire many things about America and its people but I find it sad that so many of its veterans, like our own, struggle for so many years after they leave the service. It is about time that the Western democracies took better care of their people, and particularly those who have served. Shelter, food and healthcare are needed by everyone yet so many struggle on without those essentials, or at least with the minimum amounts of them. I applaud the Fox5 team for helping out those who require extra support, even if they are too proud to admit it. People do care but are often too busy making ends meet themselves that they have little time for others.

I have to admit, it did feel good. I just keep remembering the time I got laid off, and my employment ran out. The phone company was turning off my phone. Then everything just changed. The owner of the complex I lived in stopped charging me rent, people just started bringing me food, a friend paid all of my bills. So my one act of kindness doesn't compare to the love and kindness these people showed. Everybody needs help every now and then. We live on this planet together so let's act like it!
