During my middle of the night crawl through news sites, I came across a story on Pat Dollard’s website by Jeff Rainforth that just shook me to my core. Because of the Ryan-Murray budget deal, there’s been some disturbing talk on social media about veterans. Nothing could even compare to a message on Facebook supposedly by a woman named Jan (Janet) Vrotsos and other people on a Facebook page she admins for to Senior Airman, Brian Kolfage Jr., the most severely wounded Airman in US history, a triple amputee. This from Jan’s personal (and now deleted) account:
You disabled veterans are worthless and all should have died, shame on you for fighting in a republican war, you deserved to lose all you limbs and I hope all veterans lose their benefits. I hope you die a miserable death you worthless fake hero. You and your family will be a burden on tax payers for your entire life. (sic)
Here is a screenshot of her comment on Sr. Airman Kolfage’s Facebook page, taken before she removed it:

As the proud daughter of a (late) disabled Airman, I cried. As the proud daughter of my late father, I am so angry I can’t see straight. As shocking as the comment is, there’s more. It appears that Vrotsos is herself, the daughter of a WWII Army veteran that died earlier this year. Did she feel the same way about her own father? What could make a human being write such a cruel and vile thing? Airman Kolfage recently added a comment on his Facebook page, saying the same woman created this meme of his 4-month-old child (which Rainforth confirmed in his Dollard article): BcnHl0lCAAAa264
The comment appeared on a disgusting Facebook page called Republican Family Values (RFV). Obviously, in my line of work I know there’s serious divides between parties, but this page is depraved. Some of the photos and comments make it very clear there are plenty of sickos out there. The Airman discovered information on Vrotsos, stating in a tweet that she is the admin for the RFV page along with a few others. While RFV is now claiming someone hacked their page (how handy), the tweet proves that Vrotsos is one of the RFV admins.
Jeff Rainforth’s Dollard article identifies Jan (Janet) Vrotsos as the leader of Republican Family Values (which they deny), and she is also the Director of Local Union 2222 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Massachusetts. Sure, there’s a ton of divide between conservatives and mostly liberal Union workers. But, I personally know enough Union workers to believe this is not a universal feeling (regarding disabled veterans) and I think they’ll be pretty outraged, too. Janet’s Union claims they don’t believe she said this and claim her Facebook was hacked as well. (However, if her account was hacked, how do they explain the other vile comments made by another admin, Matthew Kerryn?)
As sickening as all of this is, we have to remember to keep cool. When A&E recently took Phil Robertson off of suspension, conservatives and Christians got a powerful reminder of the strength we have when we work together. Certainly, Jan Vrotsos has a right to her free speech, but so do we.
Vets and their families have good reason to be angry right now. Having twelve members of the GOP go forward with the Ryan-Murray deal was mind-boggling and truly unbelievable for conservatives. There are thousands of men and women like Airman Kolfage who have to endure the very real results of this nasty deal. They have enough to deal with without being subjected to evil and misguided comments from people like Jan Vrotsos and her friends at RFV.
If you decide to check out Republican Family Values, be forewarned, they are harsh. The graphics are crude and the language is just as bad. You’re dealing with people who have no respect for veterans, unborn babies, Christian marriage, etc. and it’s very obvious. It’s a shame Vrotsos didn’t take the time to do a simple search of Airman Kolfage to know his incredible story. It would have saved her from looking even more ignorant than she already does. Right about now she just looks evil.
Her complaint of having to “support him and his family” is really lowdown and sad. There are plenty of stories that show that the Airman and his family are doing just fine. Check out the article links below and the video about his life. It is inspiring and made me feel downright lazy. Are there others out there who resent supporting disabled vets? Yes, they’re coming out in droves on Facebook. I’m darn glad I don’t know them; they make me sick.
