Vietnam Veterans get vaccine and belated thank you
VA Texas team arrives with pins and needles
Three Texas Veterans received the COVID-19 vaccine – and something else, something 50 years in the making.
The South Texas Veterans Health Care System Home & Community Based Care (HCBC) team covers thousands of miles of South Texas roads ensuring even the most rural Veterans are given the opportunity to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
For HCBC nurses Sandra Greer and Laura Alexander, their March 26 visits were a bit different. They visited three Vietnam Veterans and not only provided them with their second dose of vaccine, they honored their Vietnam service with the official 50th Commemoration of the Vietnam War lapel pin and a thank you card from the medical center staff.
