Facts and fiction.
A few things I’ve stumbled upon, which might or not, be of interest to some.

VA estimates that more than 686,000 veterans died in

BTW. I’ve heard nothing about the endoscopy that they farmed out to Humana.
After the report about Murfeesbugh, TN. about not knowing which end to stick the damn thing, I’m not unhappy. Think I saw a thing run across bottom of screen. I guy has HIV and 16 more have hepatitis.
