Council Member Juan Narvaez, District IV and Council Member Jose A. Valdez, Jr., District VII met with Danna Malone, Associate Director for the VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System, local veterans, and Dr. Gustavus Garcia Ramos, Chief Medical Officer of the clinic, to present the benches donated by the council members to the VA clinic for the veterans’ use.
The benches are outside the VA clinic to allow veterans who are taking advantage of the services offered at the clinic a place to rest, meditate or wait for families or further follow-up.
“I was very honored to be able to provide this place where veterans could sit and relax, while visiting the VA clinic,” said Narvaez.
Echoing his sentiments, Valdez stated that providing the bench is but a small token of his gratitude and appreciation to these individuals who have served our nation. “It’s the very least I could do,” he concluded
