Another Wall of SHAME for the VA

This was reported by the MY SA website:

Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery and the Veterans Affairs Department conceded Tuesday to making mistakes that caused families to unwittingly visit the wrong graves of loved ones for years.  The errors occurred at six VA cemeteries around the country, with Fort Sam placing the wrong headstones over 47 grave sites. As a result, four people were buried there in the wrong graves.

The problem at Fort Sam and other veterans' resting places, initially reported by the Washington Post, comes in the wake of a review by the VA's National Cemetery Association. That action was prompted after revelations of widespread problems at Arlington National Cemetery.   ***End of Story ***

Comments: While this may be dismissed as human error, it goes to the heart of the poor job performance of the Secretary of the VA; Mr. Eric Shinseki is totally not in touch with what goes on behind his closed door in Washington.  His poor leadership in rectifying the many problems with his department is inexcusable and unacceptable. Hiding behind his desk is not going to fix the problems with suicides, homelessness and the increasing number of pending claims.

Mr. President, it is time to find a real soldier who cares about his fellow soldiers and welcomes them to meet with them in his office. Someone who can get the VA back on track.
