Celebrating 75 Years of Veterans Health Administration
Being a veteran I've been fortunate that I am enrolled in VA healthcare. I personally go to most of my doctor's visits at the Sedalia office of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). For specialty visits I travel to Columbia to the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veteran's Hospital.
Ever Had to Hoof It Toting a Backpack?
As I take some trips down memory lane I think of the days when I was in the Boy Scouts in Butler, MO Troop 321. I can remember camp outs where we would throw on our backpacks and hike from the Scout Hall to our destination.
