ALS is not only a fatal disease that affects just veterans. I have family members in the military, so please don't assume that I am making any comments about veterans.
I just think it's really important for average citizens to have access to the same kinds of resources that veteran/ employees do. The military is a choice that individuals make while being paid.
I have nothing but respect for all veterans, but in this country there is no one who is superior to another, and those of us who have ALS will all pass away in the same manner. Therefore, justice ought to be accessible to every single man and woman in this country fighting this demon disease. Everyday they are the ones fighting to live.
In the year 2020, my husband was given a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), despite never having served in the armed forces. Nobody in my family who has served, including my dad, brothers, nephews, and cousins, has been diagnosed with ALS. Go figure!! My nerves are on edge after reading this article.
