Letter: What’s next?
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, January 28, 2025
As a wounded combat veteran who relies on the VA for my health care, it’s with a sense of fear I read that our new president is attacking the VA with a hiring freeze in an effort to cut back on government spending. As an 18-year-old, I enlisted in the USAF and spent a year and a half in Alaska, a year (1968) in Vietnam and a year in Ohio doing what I thought was right, serving my country knowing that the VA would care for service-related issues. Now I’m still sure I did the right thing in 1966 but not so sure about my future, how is this making American great again?
