Dilly, As I have said before, I am glad you are happy with the care your husband has received from the VA. I admit, I am amazed that if your husband has been a patient at the VA hospital in Gainesville, you were not horrified by the six bed wards, with patients mixed w/o regard to the potential for disease communication.

In any case, his good care or my lack of it has nothing to do with this thread. My purpose in starting this thread was to show that the VA has taken millions of dollars intended to provide service dogs and has instead funded new positions, studies, etc over a period of eight years. The 'Six Million Dollar Man' was a highly successful 1970's television show. Today, the two dogs provided to date by the VA are six million dollar dogs!

If that is acceptable to you, then continue your defense of the efficiency of the VA.
