I'll try and keep this deep subject ...MacDaddy,<br />I'll try and keep this deep subject brief and to the point since raining on someones parade is not my point.<br />Perhaps the VA in Colorado Springs is 100 miles from Colorado by air. Our VA has at least two female counselors for both male and female. My doctor at the VA is a female AIG major who does outstanding work.<br />The Vet Center in Colorado Springs is run by a retired E-7 female who again does outstanding work in counseling. Every member of the staff is a veteran both male and female.<br />The next time you talk to someone from IAVA, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion ask them how many counselers they have on their staff. The answer is zero. <br />That is one of the reasons I severed most of my ties with many of the veteran organizations. The bottom line is are they gathering money for their organization [saleries, parties, Friday night dances] or are they really spending the money on helping both male and female veterans?<br />This is a tuff call in many areas of the United States. You and I are on the same page here, but watch for the "sellouts." The IAVA never came here that I know of and ask one male or female soldier [40,000] how the care at the VA was!<br />rainyrainywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445164335609548931noreply@blogger.com
