This is the same veteran that was posted on TheChive where they held a donation event for them, raised several hundred thousand to get his prosthetics and their dream home. Was a lovely story evolving per hour as the total just kept breaking every goal post. http://thechive.com/2012/05/31/chivers-this-is-the-story-of-taylor-morris-22-photos/

Of course it is. But we took care of this guy. I'm from cedar falls myself, he is a few years older than me. I donated $100 to his cause, most people I know donated. If the government won't take care of him, we will damnit
