Some people just need to be taken out and beaten just to keep in practice.

Our local VFW sent out emails. We’re donating to the GoFundme.

Well deserved.

The a-hole who robbed him ought to face a firing squad.

That's what caught your attention? I focused in on this nugget...

According to Volma, whoever accessed the money used it to buy savings bonds with Treasury Direct, and has been doing so for a few months.

There are so many angles I can take with that bit of info...

He's 112, smokes 12 cigars per day, and drinks whiskey. Even if he wasn't a veteran he's my hero.

So is there an update? Did enough money get raised? I'm guessing it did....hope they beat the sh*t out of the guy that hacked his money.

Thought the bank released a statement the money had been restored. Hope he has identity theft coverage.
