NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV)
A group of veterans fear the Nashville VA Medical Center is turning its back on them.
The Vietnam veterans said living with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is tough enough. Now, they are worried that a support group for those dealing with anxiety from the Vietnam War could be cut.
"It's not good. It's not a good feeling," said veteran Jack Fann.
"This group is my livelihood. Without these people, I don't know how much longer I'll be alive," said veteran John Baglin.
For more than 10 years, the group of about 15 men has been meeting to talk through their issues with help from a VA facilitator.

Vietnam Veterans in Nashville PTSD group ends?
For ten years these men have been able to meet and support each other. Does the VA have any clue how much these Vietnam veterans need it? Do they even have a clue how they are an example of what does work when it comes to PTSD?
