6,803 fallen soldiers' families

A recount:

If we have 6,803 casualties, as the Department of Defense reported, on April 2014, that means we would need to raise $68,030,000 or sixty-eight million, thirty-thousand U.S. dollars. However, that's only to get them $10,000/each, just so they aren't homeless. They need at least $5,000,000 (5 million dollars) each, federal and state taxes-free, for dying to protect our very country.

That amount needs to be allocated to providing for their widows, widowers, orphans, and GLBT domestic partners/spouses. The military's SGLI life insurance wasn't affordable for them. Also, SGLI can't cover them for that amount.

Now that they died for our country, there's no one to advocate on their poor widows' and orphans' behalfs, except for these underfunded charities. So many more wounded veterans are still denied employment, housing, wheelchairs and prosthetics still.

There are continually so many legless veterans living on the streets of D.C. right in front of the Vietnam Memorial, White House, the Mall and in front of the U.S. Constitution. Some have no wheelchairs or a warm bed in a shelter even. I saw many legless veterans on skateboards, with no wheelchairs, no winter coats or homes, in D.C. growing up there.
