And I would like to thank you diveprof for serving our Veterans, including myself. My life was saved by the caring medical personnel of the VA Hospital in Palo Alto. Ca and the VA Clinic of Monterey, CA. Not from war wounds, but from cancer, that no other hospital would treat me for without a huge cash down payment. I lost my insurance and career due to on the job injuries as an EMT serving the community in emergencies for 17 years. No one else lifted a finger; they only cashed my checks until my savings were gone. Then with the help of a doctor, I discovered that all Vets are covered by the VA for medical when they are in financial need. They sprung into action so fast without red tape and before I knew it I was being treated.

I was saved because of people like you. Thank You.
