Believe in the VA

Wed., June 25, 2014

I am a Korean veteran who gets all his care at the Veterans Administration hospital. I feel the media has added to the problem by running so many stories on the subject, which is causing a lot of vets not to seek help.

I understand that there are some problems at some of the hospitals, but let’s be real. With any large company there are problems, and when they see them most are taken care of. Not all are perfect. I still believe in the VA and thank them for all the help I have gotten.
