  1. Very sad. Wandered off and died from the elements. This is a prime example of how poorly we care for our elderly and mentally ill. You can tell a lot about a country by how they care for the elderly and veterans. We are failing in that regard. Cut some of the foolish “social justice” programs and spend money where its really needed!
