New Omaha VA Hospital and Vietnam

On our local news today one of the main stories was how the Omaha VA needs to build a new hospital. That has been going for a very long time and seems to go backward rather than forward. It now appears that any type of remodel or replacement is years away from a decision. So what's new about that? Nothing. On the local station they interviewed a veteran who stated that this isn't Vietnam where they were drafted to go in. Were volunteering and are not getting service back from our Country. I cannot express my anger at this. A veteran is a veteran is a veteran. To make this worse, this comment is coming from a veteran. So, Vietnam Veterans aren't worthy or deserving as those who volunteered? Over 58,000 GI's lost their lives in Vietnam and I bagged many of them. There were also thousands upon thousands who were wounded. Vietnam Veterans were also treated poorly by many Americans during and after the war. Over the years you heard how that was changing, etc. This comment only proves nothing has really changed. It was just sad that the veteran didn't address that this VA hospital needed to be replaced so that it could provide services to all veterans who honorably served their Country. I'm proud I'm a Vietnam Veteran and part of a group of GI's who served their Country even when their Country didn't support them.
