I came to this planet 81 years and 11 months ago. You would think in that time, I learned not to do stupid things. Nope!
I stretched my hamstring muscle in my right leg from here to Bellwood.
I hobbled around for two weeks, then finally went to the Van Zandt VA Medical Center for therapy.
My first session was May 14, my last was June 10. When I left, my leg felt great.
In the years I have been going to the Altoona VA, I have not one complaint about my care or how staff treated me.
The Altoona VA has made great advancements in veterans care. And we veterans appreciate this.
I have been wondering if in a few years if I and other veterans who go to the Altoona VA, will be getting the same care.
President Donald Trump will quietly keep cutting VA staff and funding. Showing how much he really cares about us.
He also wants to stop treatment and money for those affected by open burn pits. Something President Joe Biden put into effect.
We will just have to wait and see. If the worst happens to us veterans, I guess we veterans will (as the old saying goes) bite the bullet and deal with it.
After all, veterans are a very tough bunch of individuals. And standing together, we can handle anything that comes our way.
