They may be veterans, but they're definitely still fighting a war.
The Joint Ambulatory Care Center on U.S. 98 was ground zero for the Gulf Coast VA town hall event Monday night, housing more than 70 Gulf Coast area vets who brought their notes, questions and concerns with the VA.
While many veterans voiced a genuine thanks and appreciation for the work the Pensacola VA clinic provides to the community, others had quite a difference in opinion.
Paul Goodwin, a 79-year-old Navy vet, said the problem for him wasn't in the services or treatment the VA provides, rather it was in its growing population.
"I have no complaints for the VA here or at Tyndall Air Force Base, where I've been seen," said Goodwin.
"I just think the VA is growing too fast."
