Unfortunately, there are still people in this world who have limited knowledge about the debilitating issues faced by those who risk their lives to protect our country.

YouTuber melanie fay posted a video of a veteran reading a gripping poem, in response to a grocery store bagger who asked, “What’s wrong with you?” The bagger asked the question after noticing that the veteran, who had all his limbs, was wearing a Disabled Veterans National Foundations beanie.

Instead of taking his anguish out on the bagger, this disabled veteran calmly left and responded with a profound spoken-word message.
