Give our Heroes that risk their lives for this country the raise that they deserve!

This Years proposed 1.7% raise does not compete with today's rising Food, Gas prices and overall inflation. Our men and women in uniform Stimulate the economy just as much as the next average working class american. Theirs not enough money in the world to pay these guys what they actually deserve. But at least get these guys above the poverty line. Its pretty sad that an average enlisted E1 soldier that would risk arm and leg for his country gets paid just as much as a overnight stalker at wal-mart.
