Our cities and states did not decide to send these men and women into combat. My father didn't develop leukemia because Fayette County, Pennsylvania (or Harrisonburg, Virginia) sent him to Vietnam; the federal government did that. I think that it is the responsibility of the federal government to provide relief like that to the veterans, disabled or not, and it should not fall to the states and localities.

While true, those states and communities still benefitted from veterans serving. It's not like your father served the US but not Fayette County (where my ex-wife and daughters live, btw).
