National Commander Dale Barnett and Department of Iowa Commander Jim Peterson will lead the walk, held during the Iowa State Fair's Veterans Parade Aug. 15.
“Veterans need caregivers who understand the post-military journey, whether we are looking for relief from post-traumatic stress disorder, trying to figure out a new prosthesis, hunting for a job, filing a claim, buying a house or getting checked for hepatitis C.”
National commander: Those calling for privatizing veterans' health care show little concern for the millions of veterans who rely on VA care and support that they receive at their local facilities.
