On Wednesday, September 15, 2015, the Texas Insider published an article titled Let's Serve Our Military. I do believe this article is a worth read, because it shows how our governor is getting involved with veteran health care system and honoring how Obama kept his promise. The residents of the Rio Grande Valley have had a dispute of not having a near VA hospital. As a native, I remember watching in the news of veterans marching from Edinburg to San Antonio (228 miles) to meet with congress men and VA directors trying to gain attention, back in 2009. Reason pertaining to this march is that veterans of south Texas who were seeking care must travel roughly 5 hours to the nearest VA hospital and to be on a 2 year wait list to seek treatment. To know that one was finally built a year later is great to hear. However, still more issues are needed to be address, but with the help of Texas and federal government it is possible to resolve.
