We want a VA hospital in the valley. Now!

If our Republican Senators, like John Cornyn or Kay Bailey 'all talk' Hutchison really supported our troops, we'd have a hospital in the Valley.

A resolution calling for the building of a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in the Rio Grande Valley was passed Tuesday by Cameron County commissioners, citing the high number of veterans from the World War II era to today’s conflicts in the Middle East who live in South Texas.

“Resolution of Support 2007” is being circulated to local governmental bodies by the Lower Rio Grande Development Council, calling for support of House Resolution 538, introduced by U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, and backed by Reps. Ruben Hinojosa, Henry Cuellar, Lloyd Doggett and Ciro Rodriguez.
