The Va: A Veteran/Patient/ Volunteer Memoir

By Rick Butler

THE VA – A Veteran/Patient/Volunteer Memoir is a story that chronicles the very positive experiences of a veteran and his interactions with the VA as a disabled veteran, a patient in their healthcare system and as a volunteer.  The VA gets a lot of negative press when things go wrong.  But seldom do they get positive recognition for all of the things that go very, very right.  The VA is far from perfect but overall it is extremely good.  Our veterans deserve help with the dignity and respect they so honorably have earned.  This book highlights the positive things about the VA which help our grateful veterans in many, many ways.
