3. My b-i-l passed away last week - Vietnam Vet, Agent Orange bladder cancer

My sister said she had nothing but high praise for the VA system here. Got him in when scheduled, staff remembered him each and every time and brought him his favorites during chemotherapy, etc.

I told her she ought to write an op/ed about her/their experiences with the VA system. She loved it, even when she drove him to Ft. Worth every three weeks to a special treatment facility for Agent Orange vets.

I was impressed by how clean the facility was when b-i-l in hospice care at the VA. A friend passed away about 6 years ago at the same facility and it was awful!

I don't know - I don't dispute these stories, but when the VA system works, the people it helps love it.
