Re: word from Iraq

So just what is the difference in who is eligible for service at
military hospitals vs. Veteran's hospitals. We don't have any military
hospitals in Iowa...just a couple of VA Medical Centers that the
government has been trying, unsuccessfully, to close for the last decade
or so. I wouldn't even know where the closest military hospital
is...Chicago maybe?

I really should stay out of this, but I have to say that my son served
four <br>years in the navy in the late 70s. A couple of years after he
got out, he had <br>a terrible accident on his bicycle. Although
bleeding badly and half <br>conscious, he asked to be taken to the
military hospital in Albany, in preference to <br>the private one. The
treatement he received was excellent. He required <br>extensive
reconstructive surgery on his face, and they brought in specialists and
<br>continued the treatments until he decided, on his own, over a year
later, that <br>he could live with what he had. They would have done
more. He was only a <br>seaman. His son is now in the
navy.<br>Auralie<br><br>In a message dated 02/02/2004 3:24:32 PM Eastern
