We have a convoy, vets and military families are heading to the Waco VA Hospital. The hospital is known for its psychiatric services and slated for closure. With so many troops returning with a need for psychiatric services this is real indication of our government's commitment to supporting the troops.

1. Somebody should call Chet Edwards and ask him to go there, too

He's the Rep for this district and also heavily for veterans issues

50 vets and family members held a spirited rally at the VA Hospital. They chanted "Mr. President we support the troops, Why don't you!" and "keep the VA Hospital open."

Cody Camacho of Iraq Veterans Against the War spoke about how he lost his family because his wife didn't know that Cody that came back from Iraq. Our troops need more not less hospitals.
