HARLINGEN, Aug. 30 – There is a passage in a book by Martin Schram titled 'Vets Under Siege' that seems to sum up the sentiment of many South Texas veterans.

HARLINGEN, Aug. 22 - Our ambitious goals to bring a Veterans Affairs hospital to South Texas have not diminished as some might think. 

HARLINGEN, Aug. 15 - Remember a couple of years ago when the veterans of the Rio Grande Valley started to press harder for a Veterans Affairs hospital for the region?

HARLINGEN, Aug. 9 - Remember Vietnam. Some 58,000-plus Americans were killed during the war, thousands became prisoners of war, and over 300,000 were wounded in action.

HARLINGEN, Aug. 2 - When we look at the total picture, it is plain about the only people in this country who give a damn about our military personnel are family, friends, and fellow veterans.
