Remembering wounded warriors and VA access struggles
A veteran columnist complains about denied or delayed VA disability pensions and medical care for wounded warriors in New Mexico. He cites long trips to Albuquerque for treatment, missed benefits for 100 percent disabled veterans, and a case of DMW who, despite proven Agent Orange exposure, faces continued denial and travel burdens. He appeals for action and acknowledgement from officials.
