Dear Secretary Robert Mcdonald

Dear Mr. Mc Donald

I want to thank you for your service to Veterans. Many Veterans have indicated you are making a difference.

I have a simple suggestion on how to expand your "Ask Bob" emails. I love your ask Bob emails and many Vets like them also.

I do think he should be implementing this "email Bob" more nationally. In other words, we should email our VARO director, and that VARO director should solve the problem and divide his work load by 57 regional offices.

Maybe the complaints are "tracked", and there needs to be follow up...something like this:

(My suggestion for an email follows):

Dear Mary Smith (VARO director, St. Pete RO, a hypothetical name)

Im forwarding this email I got from a Veteran in St. Augustine Florida. Please check this out and report back to me in 30 days or less what the result was. Thank you

Robert McDonald

Then, these complaints should be tracked..and Mr. McDonald should respond, if nothing happens like this:

Dear Mary Smith, VARO Director:

A month ago, I forwarded you an email from Joe Veteran, in St. Augustive, and asked you to get back to me when you had checked it out. Since I have not heard anything, please call my office right away, and explain why you have not taken any action. If you were(are) gone on leave, please have your Assistant Director Call me and explain what happened.

Robert McDonald.

End suggested emails.

Notice that "follow up" is not recommended, its mandantory. This will keep the pressure on to do their job right.

I could not find anything stating that any Veterans Affairs Hospital in any state is providing medical marijuana if you have a source please cite it for us so we can look it up. It would useful for many veterans. Remember the Veterans Affairs Hospital are Federal Government, not state government.
