I've made a few changes to the top of my home page at http://mrgrg-ms.org/ that I thought may interest to you. I will be sending the paragraph concerning the "
United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit Decisions"
to Congressional Staffers. I'll bet that
less than 5% of the Congressional
Staffers know about these court
decisions. I'll go a step further and
bet that less than 10% of our military
retirees know about the court's
decisions. Even at this late date the
Congressional Staffers need to know
about the Greatest
Swindle of all time. And, what
happened to us is a swindle. In my
opinion the court admits that it was a
swindle when they wrote "They
served their country for at least 20
years with the understanding that when
they retired they and their dependents
would receive full
free health care for life. The
promise of such health care was made in
good faith and relied upon."
Of course you know the rest of the
story... "Again,
however, because no authority existed to
make such promises in the first place,
and because Congress has never ratified
or acquiesced to this promise, we have
no alternative but to uphold the
judgment against the retirees'
breach-of-contract claim."
This is nothing new coming from me. As
you know I've been harping on these
court decision since the first time I
read them. Forget hell, not a chance!

United States Congress, the
American People, Military Retirees,
Military Retiree Widows, and anyone
interested in justice and fair play.
What
would you do if you made payments on a
house for 20 years under what you
thought was a contract only to discover
that the contract wasn't authorized and
the house isn't yours?
What
would you do if the people that sold you
the house closed the house and told you
that you could not live there anymore?
What
would you do if you served for 20 or
more years in the military being told
that if you served until retirement you
would receive free medical care for
yourself and your eligible dependents at
military treatment facilities for as
long as you or they lived only to
discover, via a court ruling, that the
promise wasn't authorized and the
government reneges on the promise.
What
would you do if you were told that you
could not use the military treatment
facility where you had been receiving
medical care for years, and you had to
go on Medicare and pay for Medicare part
B just like the average citizen that
never served a day in the military?
Would you fight for what is yours, or
would you just roll over and play dead?
