I often see a person who is Standing up for Vets and deserves a huge thank you..
today I watched a clip of one who was standing up for vets,.. even when just standing can cause pain... She was once again a hero..
this guy claimed disabled.. minority owned.. and several other classifications to get an edge over competition.. yet
I can understand a vet needing a bit of an advantage,.. while many went to work.. many of the veterans went to war.. and now need to catch up
this guy appears to have not done anything.. yet claims multiple qualifiers that give his business a huge advantage...
Every time I go to the VA hospital in Wilmington Delaware, I am humbled by those who have given so much... there are many vets like Lieutenant Colonel Ladda Tammy Duckworth who are still serving not only in the congress but with the Illinois National Guard.. Vets such as this deserve the title of Hero..

June 27, 2013 (WASHINGTON) -- An Internal Revenue Service official refused to testify Wednesday before a House committee examining his relationship with the CEO of computer services company that has as much as $500 million in contracts with the tax agency.
Gregory Roseman said he was advised by his lawyer to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is investigating government contracts secured by Strong Castle Inc., and whether a friendship between Roseman and Strong Castle's CEO, Braulio Castillo, was a factor in the company's ability to win such large contracts with the IRS.
Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., an Iraq war veteran and who lost both her legs in combat, mocked Castillo's application for veterans benefits which allowed him to promote Strong Castle as a small business operated by a disabled veteran.
Duckworth noted that Castillo sustained a foot injury not in combat but while playing football at a military prep school. Castillo went on to play college football at the University of San Diego, and more than 20 years later, applied for veterans disability payments.
"My feet hurt too," Duckworth said, sarcastically. "In fact, the balls of my feet hurt continuously. So I can understand and ... I'm so sorry that twisting your ankle in high school has now come to hurt you in such a painful way."
Duckworth asked Castillo how severe his injury was rated by the VA. After Castillo said it was rated at 30 percent, Duckworth pointed to her own arm.
"My right arm was essentially blown off and reattached ... and I'm still in danger of losing my arm. I can't feel my arm. My disability rating for that arm is 20 percent," Duckworth said.

Castillo told the committee that much of his business was actually run from his home.
