As of today if a Veteran in South Texas, Young or Old, needs a surgery or needs to see a specialist they must travel 5 hours North to San Antonio, Tx at there own expense. Only so much can be done at the VA outpatient clinic in McAllen Tx, where Veterans from WWII to the present must compete for treatment. Not only is this wrong but it is unjust and cruel.
