Vets & Their Families Speak Out

East Orange, N.J.

Thank you so very much for shedding light on my brother Juan Jimenez's plight [Joshua Kors, "How the VA Abandons Our Vets," Sept. 15]. I know his story is shared by many veterans. Juan had the courage, the tenacity and the desire to have his story heard. He will forever be my hero. Juan embodies courage, strength, compassion, passion and a strong desire for justice--especially when it comes to his Army brothers. Again, from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul, I thank you.
