MANKATO — Mike Anderson, a formerly homeless Vietnam veteran, had a large and interesting group of visitors Wednesday morning to his home overlooking Lake Dorothy on Mankato's northeast side.

Standing in his living room were a group of TV, radio and newspaper journalists; scattered about the townhouse were various government press aides; walking through the front door was Congressman Tim Walz. And the guest of honor was former Army general, former Army Chief of Staff, and current Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki.

Shinseki, and his entire executive team should be out in the field visiting with Veterans nationwide, holding townhall type meetings with Veterans to find out exactly what they need and why they're so disenchanted with the entire VA system

Then return to DC put a plan of action together and push it hard and accomplish the decades of needed repairs!
