In 1971, I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost both legs above the knee.

For the past two years, I have been waiting to receive a new wheelchair from the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have been told that I am not entitled to a spare wheelchair.

He lost both his legs wearing this country's uniform and he's not entitled. Meanwhile ...

You sound surprised.

This “president” and several of his cabinet once called for eliminating the VA and the vets would “Just buy their own insurance”.

Surprised to hear that? I’m not.

You are not alone in your anger, friend...

This is an amazing story, and it does the heart good to know that there are STILL Americans out there who go above and beyond...

Yes, meanwhile, millions of illegal aliens pour through our unprotected border and IMMEDIATELY get all of their needs taken care of.

“There is hope for humanity after all – we just have to believe in the power of the human spirit.”

Would be willing to bet God had a hand in this. I will shop at Lowe’s more often.

I know an ex Army Ranger than basically broke his back being let down onto a roof in Somalia then basically blowing him off the roof several stories high. Now he’s in horrible pain (legs) and they are denying him medication or treatment saying it’s unrelated to his injuries in Somalia. The guy us in so much pain he thinks about taking his own life just to end the pain!

America, where spoiled brats are given all the freebies and your vets ate thrown to the curb after walking through jungles for years in 100 + heat sleeping in tents, barely eating enough to stay alive while taking out bad guys who could much harm to U.S. citizens and they don’t even respect them for it! Makes me boiling mad!

I don’t understand why every veteran and soldier doesn’t spit every time they hear Obama’s name. Obama hates the military. They are his pawns to toy with.

In better news mac daddy played rounds of golf, flew around at tax payers expanse, gave fund raiser lies, VA workers got paid bonuses and cared less about our brave vet’s.

Might have been another Lowe's employee and might have been another customer. We see little of the good employees who took on this task other than a partial profile of the man on the right.

This is as it should be, with the emphasis on the deed and not on the doers. Positively disgusting that the VA would put the guy through this. Positively commendable that the Lowe's employees would pick up the slack. I suspect they have a great store manager who supports this type of customer service.

God Bless people like these 3.

And, God Bless this vet for his service.

There still are good people, they just don't make the news. Pity.
