I wish to thank Americans for their generous support and concern for all the veterans who have served our country in some capacity.
I have just returned home from a first visit to the new VA outpatient clinic in Portland. It is a beautifully designed, equipped and welcoming building that is staffed by highly trained medical and support staff.
As has been my experience for years of receiving care from the VA, I was treated in a very professional and caring way. Americans who are not veterans or relatives of one probably have no opportunity to visit or otherwise see the network of hospitals and clinics they support through their tax dollars. I don’t know what the protocol is for visiting one of these facilities but would hope that a visit would be welcomed.
I am thankful for the American people’s support and generosity. The men and women who are employed to deliver care are first class, caring and eager to provide veterans with 5-star service. I don’t imagine that any other nation can match us in this respect.
