My husband, Ramey Evans, Jr. passed away a few weeks ago knowing what the government thought about him and his service in the Korean war. He was denied enrollment because he had saved a little too much money to live on in his retirement years, along with his social security. It didn't matter that he had earned the right to have help with his medicine, he didn't get it. He put off going to the VA for help because he would have to travel so far. When we got a clinic in Mena, Ar. he thought that he could use it, but, he couldn't. He was hurt by the fact that his government didn't care enough about him to give him what he had earned by fighting in a horrible war. It makes me ashamed and sick to my stomach every time I think of what you did to him and many, many more vets. I don't know how you can go to sleep at night for what you and your cohorts have done to this country.
