HARLINGEN — Veterans who have been calling for a full-service veterans hospital in the Rio Grande Valley say they will never stop pushing toward their goal.
But leaders of veterans groups say health care services in the region already are greatly improved.
Ray Molano, commander of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 856, said his group and others in the Valley Veterans Alliance plan to keep pressure on federal officials to build a full-service veterans hospital.
“We’re still pushing to get a hospital,” Molano said. “We have the Winter Texans coming down for five or six months a year or even becoming permanent residents.” -->-->-->
I covered this ongoing need for and years of lobbying for in a couple of early posts you can find Here and Here, why, well it's been a decades long fight for by our brother 'Nam Vets and the other conflict veterans in that area of the country, as in some others, and has now been joined and led by the new generation veterans of the two occupations still ongoing, coming into the tenth year of. The need now has only grown!
And here's a need of sacrifice by the communities, and country, for the sacrifice the soldier and their families give but isn't returned by way too many in a society.
Local doctor has a plan to help the VA treat America's vets -- for free
The Veterans Administration more than has its hands full when it comes to caring for aging and injured veterans. Even under the best of circumstances, they have millions of patients to care for each year.
But a Houston-area doctor has a plan – he wants the rest of the medical community to step in and do their part. John Thompson is one of those veterans. He makes monthly visits to Dr. Todd Hatch for neck, back and foot pain.
That pain started on the other side of the world, when Thompson spent a year with the Army in Iraq.
Hatch set up the Wounded Warriors Volunteer Association Web site, in the hopes that it will be a place where soldiers can find doctors from every specialty who are willing to provide at least some of their services free of charge. -->-->-->
As a side and using this Doctors efforts, and professional qualities and community outreach, expand your mind into other businesses and professions, or media and those you watch and listen to, or any of the contacts in your daily life and even what you yourself offer individually and as a community.
Would you rather give your care and business to the doctor above, or any others of other professions and businesses, or this one being discussed:
Now, who would you think had the Intelligence, or even the mentality of that intelligence, you seek to give you the care you really need, once again expand your mind into the others!
