Roane County's veterans want Washington to know they need a VA hospital.
"I've been having to travel six hours to go the VA hospital in Murfreesboro which is a burden on me," said Dr. Ron Higgs, a retired physician in Roane County.
For the second time, hundreds of veterans rallied together Friday in Kingston to show their support of a new hospital.
Dr. Higgs is deeply connected to this fight.
"I'm a patient of the VA hospital and I've spent my entire career at Roane County Medical Center," he said.
Local mayors teamed up to get Congressman Chuck Fleischmann (R) and House Veterans Affairs Chairman Representative Jeff Miller (R-FL) to the rally.read more here
