On Memorial Day . . .

Spotty wants you to meet Clarence. Clarence is a homeless man who lives in Detroit. He is a veteran of the Afghan war. If Clarence doesn't make you weep, you have no heart. There are probably people like Clarence in Minnesota, too, especially among the National Guard, who receive even less in benefits than regular armed forces personnel after active duty ends.

The health care cuts urged by the Republicans in Minnesota are just going to create more people like Clarence.
