by Gary Kennedy Before I give you the negative residuals of last week’s messages let me say I hope you enjoyed a wonderful July 4.

by Gary Kennedy I’m sure many of you veterans out there are dealing with subjective as well as objective data, when you not only view, but experience the Veterans Administrations, Medical administrative as well as its physical plant.
