NOT Helping Veterans #1

This is disgusting:

Taylor residents oppose proposed women veterans center in their neighborhood

October 11, 2009, Taylor, Texas (Austin American-Statesman)— A California company wants to convert an empty facility formerly used as nursing home into a trauma assistance center for as many as 88 female veterans, including those who have been sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers.

But some Taylor residents say they don't want the facility in their town.

"It would put veterans in a situation where they are going to a town that doesn't want them," said Cherri Wolbrueck, co-owner of a Taylor bookstore.

I guess "Support Our Troops" is only a catchy phrase to the folks of Taylor, Texas.
