The major mission of the Hill Country Veterans
Council is to:
Save VA
Hospitals nationwide.
Lobby
Congress for adequate funding for Veteran Healthcare
nationwide.
Work to
have VA Hospital facilities fully utilized.
Work to
have all services, which were discontinued, at VA
Hospitals restored to the 1995 level.
Provide
assistance to and work with Veterans organizations
throughout the nation to insure that Veterans receive the
promised Healthcare.
Use the
strong membership base to continue to disclose to the
elected officials, VA leadership, and the public the
enormous hardship our Veterans are going through in order
to receive their promised Healthcare.
Encourage
Veterans to register to vote and then vote so their impact
will be felt in Washington. Provide assistance to all
Veterans Service Officers in their local Voter

All Veterans:
In order to accomplish this
MISSION, we need the help of all our Veterans (all 30 million
of you). We can make an impact, but we must use our numbers to
influence Congress.
Therefore, each of us must pass on the messages posted on this
web-site to other Veterans and their families. We must stay
actively involved with our members of Congress. When action is
needed, take pen in hand and write your members of Congress to
support our Veterans nationwide.
The HCVC is looking forward to a lot of promising progress in
the future. We need for you to be part of the progress.
