[Marxism] VfP: Save Manhattan V.A. Hospital + Veterans Peace Contingent at Veterans Day Parade

[Yoshie Furuhashi <furuhashi.1@xxxxxxx>]

* Picket Line & Press Conference
SAVE MANHATTAN V.A. HOSPITAL

Wednesday Nov. 10, 2004
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
23rd St. & 1st Ave.

For over a year now, the effort to save the Manhattan V.A. Hospital
has been a major concern of the veterans in the New York metro area.
The Department of Veterans Affairs CARES report, which called for the
transfer of inpatient units to Brooklyn, would make access to
healthcare harder, especially for disabled and elderly veterans. Many
believe that this would also be the first step in the complete
closing of the Manhattan hospital.

Closing needed veterans hospitals is a betrayal of the promise made
to all veterans. It is also shameful hypocrisy, while our troops are
fighting in Iraq, for politicians to say they support them and at the
same time, cut back the medical facilities they will need when they
come home.

It's time to stand up and be counted. Join us on the day before
Veterans Day to raise our voices in protest. There will be a picket
line from 11 AM to 1 PM. At 12 Noon there will be a press conference
where a number of local and congressional representatives and various
veterans leaders are being invited to speak.

SAVE THE MANHATTAN V.A. HOSPITAL
DECENT HEALTHCARE FOR ALL VETS
