Desperate vet pawns his Purple Heart

Beneath discarded DVD players and antiquated bass guitars sits in a peculiar item at in a Holland, Michigan pawn shop. An Afghanistan War veteran walked into the A-Z Outlet last month, handed the proprietor his Purple Heart and left with cash.

Bryan VandenBosch, owner of the East Michigan consignment shop, says the man had the same story that every other client comes in with. “He was short on funds,” he tells the Holland Sentinel.

The soldier, who has not been identified, came into VandenBosch’s shop just shy of Thanksgiving this year in need of some holiday cash. While he has not spoken to the press at length of his service, he admitted to the Sentinel that a bullet ripped through his body while serving overseas and he earned two Purple Hearts for his courageous service to America.

Since 1932, the honor has been awarded in the name of the US president to Armed Forces personnel injured in combat and in the past has been given to such notable vets as President John F Kennedy, Senator John McCain and former-Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Holland VFW Post Commander Marcel Estrada has also been awarded the honors and adds to the Sentinel that everyone has a different take on the medal. While the veteran says he cherishes the award, with the country facing dire economic times, however, he could understand what would move the unidentified man to make such a decision.
It must be a really extreme situation to do that,” he tells the Sentinel, “but we have to respect his decision.”

A study published by the 100,000 Homeless Campaign earlier this year revealed that while fewer than one-in-ten Americans served their country, 15.2 percent of the country’s population that lives on the street is composed of Armed Service veterans. Additionally, homeless veterans are 11 percentage points more likely to develop life-threatening illnesses while on the streets when compared to non-servicemen.

“They are coming home to a disproportionate rate of homelessness, of foreclosures and evictions. In 2010 a whopping 75,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in the United States were homeless; were sleeping on the streets,” Iraq war veteran Michael Prysner tells RT. “They are coming home to an unemployment rate of about 30 percent for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. This is triple the national average.”

In Michigan where the Purple Heart was pawned, veteran unemployment is higher than in any other state.

VandenBosch adds to the Sentinel that despite offers for the medal, he is refusing to sell it until the soldier himself returns for it. "[In case] the gentleman wants it, it's never going to be sold," he says.

Americans leaving US in record numbers

Ever dream of leaving it all behind and heading out of America? You’re not the only one. A new study shows that more US citizens than ever before are living outside of the country.

According to statistics from the US State Department, around 6.4 million Americans are either working or studying overseas, which Gallup says is the largest number ever for such statistic.

The polling organization came across the number after conducting surveys in 135 outside nations and the information behind the numbers reveal that this isn’t exactly a longtime coming either — numbers have skyrocketed only in recent years. In the 24 months before polling began, the number of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 living abroad managed to surge from barely 1 percent to over 5.1 percent. For those under the age span wishing to move overseas, the percentage has jumped in the same amount of time from 15 percent to 40.

While the United States of America was at one point (and largely still is) a magnet for foreigners in search of work, the statistics makes it clear that an opposite trend is quickly picking up steam.

"There's a feeling among more entrepreneurial Americans that if you really want to get anything done, you have to get out of country and away from the depressing atmosphere," Bob Adams of America Wave tells Reuters. “There's a sense of lost direction, so more people are looking for locations that offer more hope about the future."

Many of those leaving the US have job skills that would transfer quite well in the American market. Instead, however, they chose to bring those out of the States, attracted instead to opportunities elsewhere.

While America offers some employment opportunities unmatched outside of the United States, the country has also seen dire economic statistics since the dawn of the Obama administration, with jobless benefit claims soaring in recent months, and only last week did the Department of Labor reveal an unemployment statistic below 9 percent. On the contrary, the number of Americans that want full-time work and have given up on finding it or unable to locate it is closer to double that figure, while at the same time many of America’s largest employers have outsourced positions across the globe. Banking giant Goldman Sachs announced earlier this year that in the wake of a recession, they would finally be creating 1,000 new positions, yet making them available only to workers in Singapore. Other industries, significantly American, have been relocated as well; the ending of NASA’s space shuttle program this year left many intelligent US citizens with little choice but to continue in their field outside of the States.
“We’ve pretty much outsourced everything else,” aerospace technician Giovanni Pinzon tells RT. He was left scrambling for a job after years working in America’s space program.

America Wave’s Adams adds to Reuters that the statistics prove surprising to him, but noted that it doesn’t exactly make sense to think that it is a fluke.

“They're looking for work because of the sluggish economy, and they've lost confidence that the U.S. is going anywhere,” says Adams.Ever dream of leaving it all behind and heading out of America? You’re not the... more
