Veterans continue VA change protest

As America continues to fight in two current wars, we continue to see the decline in veteran care services.  How can we continue to ask our Americans to go fight for freedom and promote democracy in other countries, when we can't even take care of their needs when they return home.  What kind of logic is it to close any type of services offered to veterans at the W. G. Hefner VA Medical Center or any other VA Medical Center when the amount of services and care needed for our veterans is greater than ever.

The local public hospitals are always full of patients and emergency room lines are always maxed out with often several hours of waiting time.  Our veterans put their lives on the line for their country so why should they be told they have to go to their local hospital and wait unlimited hours to be seen.  Our government needs to step up to the plate and start placing our veterans in the front of the line and take care of them before they continue to give handouts to third world country's.  We send billions of dollars to these other countries to assist them in this and that and to promote this and that but we can't keep our veteran services going.  WAKE UP AMERICA!  Protect your Veterans as they protected you.
