I was coming home and heard on the radio (NPR/ or WPR) that the defense department wants to classify soldiers who fought in Kosovo as "non-combat" veterans. If this goes through, they will lose $220/month in benefits/$. Congressman Steve Kagen-Wi/D (http://kagen.house.gov /) says that these fine soldiers were indeed in harm's way, and should not lose the recognition of their sacrifice, or the benefits they deserve. I called his office, and talked to a rep, and mentioned that Congressman Kagen should definitely contact Wesley Clark, because he would know a lot about this, and that the well-being of the veterans is personal with him. I went on to explain that it did not matter who Kagen might support for 2008, but that I really believed Wes Clark could help him on this. Sorry, I don't have a link yet, but I'll look. If anyone else here feels the same way, please contact Congressman Kagen and give him your support.
