I've operated on people from Canada that have come to Wyoming for me to take care of them because they couldn't afford to wait long enough for their free operation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have been very blessed for many, many years to have the energy industry here in Wyoming.
I'm fortunate to live in Wyoming, one of the most beautiful, pristine places in the world.
Those that have received care here in Des Moines at the VA center or the VA hospital here have said that they do receive good care. However, it's getting into the system - the wait periods. We have to do something about that. The care here has been good. We're not seeing that in other states.
Wyoming is a special place: Where our farmers and ranchers rise before dawn and work until night to feed our nation. Where our coal miners and oil field workers produce the energy that powers America's homes and businesses, and where our families are guided by faith, know the value of hard work, and deeply love our land.
We were also fortunate enough to engage in our service a Canadian Frenchmen, who had been with the Chayenne Indians on the Black mountains, and last summer descended thence by the Little Missouri.
I grew up in Colorado and spent my summers in Montana as a ranch hand.
Most of all, our troops from Alabama said they appreciate the care packages from folks back home.
My wife and I look for ways to always support the troops, including sending care packages regularly to them.
There is nothing good to be had in the country, or if there is, they will not let you have it.
We've been helping you out in Alaska in considerable ways, and you're walking away from the responsibility, and we're not going to allow that.
