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!""We can argue about whether we like football or basketball as soldiers or sailors, airmen, marine or coast guardsmen… when it comes time; we never leave a soldier on the battlefield." –Montel Williams (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.
