Veterans lined both sides of the entrance to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salem today.
They say, over the past five or six years, funding and staffing cuts have left only a skeleton crew to run the 6-week P-T-S-D program.
They add the reductions have cut the number of patients the program can accept, even though the services will be more in demand as vets return from Iraq.
