Former Military Hospital Site Urged as PTSD Treatment Facility
Fort Bayard Days
The Silver City (NM) News (9/16, Vestal) reports that completion of the new Fort Bayard medical facility, expected in the next few months, “throws the fate of old Fort Bayard in limbo. The state, which owns the property, must find a new entity that would run the facility.
Supporters, such as the preservation society, said they would like to see the hospital used as a clinic to treat veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.”
They note that Fort Bayard, now a state and national historic landmark, served as a military hospital from 1922 to 1956.

This kind of crap is happening all across America.Instead of refurbishing buildings that are no longer in use the Veterans Admin.makes the decision to tear them down.This is absured.At the Sepulveda VA in Southern California they already tour down are hospital and are try to lease two other buildings to the private sector.It’s all about the money.”I’ve got an plan,lets build more schools for the illegals.”It’s time our represenatives get off their ass and do whats right for our American Vets who so proudly serve our country.Ron Dorn, “Viet Nam 1969″
My personal favorite is when cities, counties and states spend thousands for an architectural study to see if its cheaper to renovate an old federally built structure or tear it down and build something brand new.
When you hear phrases like: “Too much asbestos.” “Too labor intensive.”
“More trouble than its worth.” Ask for the actual dollars and sense breakdown.
An environmental impact study usually tips the scales one way or the other.
Hello:
If this site is now a State Park and Historical Landmark, the State would be the first source as to whether a PTSD Treatment Center would even be possible. The current designations may have restrictions. If so, you certainly could get some guidance and other resources.
Ron Dorn, as far as Reps getting off their asses? I have no words.. Except this: You won’t do what you were elected to do? Then get off your ass and get the hell out. I’m at the point I would kick the losers off the planet.
Seeing John Baynor throw the Healthcare Reform Laws over his shoulder as he said.. “We’re doing away with all of this” (when they Take Over the House and Senate Nov. 2) And do it over. The right way.
Then went on to say this: We are going to have a voucher program for veterans. To use in private civilian providers.
And he and his minions are serious.
Sorry.. I don’t have anything else to say except… *(%#)@ %#U$O)@U)! $&*#()!@!
