On this day when America salutes our veterans—thanking them for their service and dedication—I just want to question it all. (And don't get the wrong impression—I do appreciate them, or else my Marine Corps veteran father would kill me. And my grandfather, who was a World War II demolitions expert, would roll over in his grave).

Sure, today the bank's closed and people are giving their social media shout-outs on the web, but there's some honoring that's more important than just a few Facebook status updates. And right now it's beginning to fade.

After risking their lives, many military personnel are returning home to find yet another surprise from their grateful country: little health care availability.
