“PR veterans don’t get the same benefits?..................”

No we don’t. For starters, there’s close to 200,000 veterans, mostly aging Korea and Vietnam vets, on the island and only one VA hospital.

That’s certainly eye opening to me. PR vets deserve equal benefits. Besides needing another VA hospital, what else aren’t they getting?

One more reason 2 of my 5 siblings plus I, have never moved back after our military service. Our Dad is also a veteran, and the care he receives in PR is abysmal in comparison to the care my sister and brother receive (I have not taken advantage of the VA services yet.)
