Harrowing Veteran's Story

Anthony Acevedo deserves the Medal of Honor. Instead he was told to keep quiet and never talk about his experiences.

Acevedo sees it differently. For a soldier who survived one of the worst atrocities of mankind, the military's reaction is still painful to accept. "My stomach turned to acid, and the government didn't care. They didn't give a hullabaloo."

It took more than 50 years, he says, before he received 100 percent disability benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.



Please remember why we observe this day and keep in that way.
