HOT SPRINGS, S.D. — South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson is making stops West River this week to go to colleges and veterans.
On Tuesday, Johnson visited the State Veteran’s Dwelling and Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in Sizzling Springs. A part of the go to was spent doing pinning ceremonies for Vietnam veterans.
These occasions are a serious focus for Congressman Johnson, who says he represents the federal authorities in giving recognition the place it beforehand wasn’t.
One other spotlight of the journey was speaking to veterans and V.A. officers about providers in Sizzling Springs. Rep. Johnson has handed laws in Washington yearly to maintain the V.A. Hospital in Sizzling Springs from closing.
“The truth is, it offers critically necessary providers to individuals who in any other case must drive dozens or lots of of miles,” Rep. Johnson says. “We’ve made a dedication to these veterans; let’s be sure that we’re making good on these guarantees.”
Veterans within the space say whereas the V.A. Hospital stays open, its providers are missing.
“We had a full service V.A. right here. Now we have now a band-aid station,” says Donald L. Ackerman, Sr., a retired U.S. Military veteran. “You may’t even go up there; you may’t even stroll in.”
Ackerman says he’s grateful for Congressman Johnson’s consideration to the problem as they proceed to work for extra options.
