Approximately 500 veterans, their wives and/or husbands, showed in support of turning the 14-year old Harriman Hospital into a VA hospital. With chants of "VA all the way!", the audience shouted their desire to move forward in gaining Washington's support for a VA hospital that would serve 85,000 regional veterans.
The City of Harriman has already approved a resolution to sell the hospital building to the VA for $1.00! So, not having the money should be a non-issue.
I decided not to take photos of the politicians, all of whom voiced their support, that showed up in support, because it was all about "us" veterans. It's also up to "us" to gather the needed petition signatures to push the move "all the way to the VA"!
Click on this photo of the petition, print it off, sign it, and fill up the sheet with other names, and mail it to the address on the form.
Best of luck to us all! All the way to the VA!

Presentation-artwork looks better, as in, more 'real', than an actual picture, to me!
By the way, who did the artwork? Too-detailed to be called an actual-sketching!
But then again, what would I know?
My 'stick-men' can't even hold their own weight...!☺
Way ta go, vets!
I took 2 photos, sandwiched them together and put them through an HDR process. It gives them that Norman Rockwell feel and look!
But, I confess...I did it! Thanks.
I've never heard of such a thing, but I like it!(Too bad WE don't have a 'group-pic', for you to 'paint'!)
Regular cess-pool of information & skills, ain't ya'?☺!
A group pic! That would be great, but I have to fuzz Goddess out to protect her witness program identity!
Unfortunately this never worked out. The hospital sits empty, and the VA moved on to where it is now paying rent!
