Donna Wurster, who lives in Murphy, receives treatment at the VA in Dallas for extensive nerve damage in both legs, arthritis and a long list of other physical ailments due to her 20 years in the Army and Army Reserves. Wurster said she is nervous that wait times will increase and veterans will be without health care they desperately need.

Slashing VA jobs is not just a policy failure; it is a betrayal of the oath veterans took to serve and protect this nation.
