using a fully-functional VA is a choice, it is a choice that 94 percent of VFW members who were surveyed would like to make.

Thank you, all.

I am hopeful that you guys can get this together.

Keep us apprised of redlines.

We are grateful for that and I think about those folks who are out there in Koochiching County.
