ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Veterans and supporters lined the entrances to the Roseburg Veterans Administration Medical Center Tuesday morning, and they plan to keep doing it to call attention to the possible cuts in services at the hospital.

The veterans held signs demanding that VA officials stop the downsizing and keep the Roseburg facility as a full service hospital.

Veterans say the want to keep people aware of what's going on and encourage them to make their opinions known.

Jim Little of the Douglas County Veterans Forum, says they need to keep the pressure on, and that's what they intend to do. "We want our VA Roseburg hospital returned to a full service hospital," said Little.
