Montel Williams–Former Marine and TV Personality–Powerful Impromptu Speech to Fellow Veterans: "We're at war! Guys are still dying! How dare this nation treat us this way!"

Aimee Herd : May 28, 2014  Mike Opelka – The Blaze

(Myrtle Beach, SC)—While joining in with other veterans and their families, at a Memorial Day gathering, Monday; TV personality, Montel Williams—a 22-year veteran himself—launched into a passionate oration regarding the current debacle with the Veterans Affairs. (Photo via The Blaze)
