AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center celebrated Veterans Day one day early.

A Joint Service Color Guard from Fort Gordon and the medical center held their annual ceremony to honor those who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Marine Corps on Monday.

"It really made me feel good as a veteran I spent my time serving my country and for the VA to put this on...it really shows they care about us as veterans. If feel good about it,” said Peter Bassette, veteran.

seems to me like the VA would have notified all the veterans in the therapy programs at the program.But since they cannot take care of our health problems when we need it, why expect any better. Worst health service in the world.
