Dear Ed,
As a physician who is grateful to be serving veterans in the VA, and is
grateful for the sacrifices that others have made to allow me the fredoms
that I enjoy as a US citizen, I respectfully suggest that messages that
express your opinion on national issues that have nothing to do with
prosthetics/orthotics should be shared elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Levy,MD
