3. my grandfather was a totally disabled vet

he received fairly good care up until he died which was in the late 1950s. He lived not too far from where he received treatment however.

Where I now live, the nearest VA Medical Center is an 8 hr. drive away. I know they have some sort of service to drive people to/from this facility but still, if you are in need of some serious care very soon the local clinic here is not satisfactory.

IMO the VA needs a lot of help! A card would be one small thing they could do, but I agree with the above poster, they don't want to spend any more money then they have to sadly.

Hang in there!
