Veteran who contemplated suicide reunites with Bernie Sanders

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

Nearly three months later, Weigel attended another Sanders event to report that his medical debt was now under control. He said that he was now only paying $29.50 per month.

"Because of your support, Sens. [Catherine] Cortez-Masto and Jacky Rosen got involved and straightened out my bills," Weigel told Sanders and the crowd in Gardnerville, Nevada.

He later added, "Thank you for rescuing me."

Weigel attempted to give Sanders his flight jacket, but Sanders declined to take it. Instead, Weigel ripped his flight patch off the jacket and gave it to Sanders.

1. So glad for him...

I was there at the Carson event when he spoke, and after many of us offered him hugs and what little words of support we could muster.
So grateful people stepped in and helped him, but it is so sad that so many others are suffering his dilemma and can't get the services they need

3. I agree FirstLight

and thanks for sharing.

2. Bernie is a compassionate politician.

That's very important to me. Thanks for posting Uncle Joe.
