re: Rise of Disabled Veterans

Before she passed, my wife was paralyzed. She had a motorized wheelchair and we used an accessible van with a side ramp for wheelchair access. There were so many times I had to park far out to ensure ramp access because all the handicapped spaces were filled with DV plates. 90% of the drivers of those vehicles I saw had no visible physical disability. Just this week I saw two stroll out to their cars in handicap spaces.

You veterans who blindly defend this behavior should consider policing your own. I couldn’t care less about DVs at this point. Helping a paralyzed woman with a terminal disease through a parking lot because of some asshat with a % disability from a twisted knee will do that to you.

I'm considered 100% disabled but I sure as hell don't park in a handicapped parking sspot.I thank God I still have the ability to walk a few spaces down from the store. I know there are some DVs not so lucky, but as others have said not all disabilities can be seen with a first glance.
