nation in times of both peace and war, and in doing so have thereby
assured the independence of all her people, and
~[It~t~Ig, more than a million veterans enter the Department of Veterans
Affairs Medical Centers nationwide for medical attention annually,
and
~i~ri~i~, these hospitalized veterans who yet bear the physical and emo-

Affairs Medical Centers our concern, care, and sincere appreciation.
