Today's is Pablo Rodriquez. Pablo served as a Boatswain’s Mate in the US and a Combat Engineer in the National Guard from '67-'76.

“I truly love my country and always wanted to protect the freedoms we enjoy," he shares. "Honestly, if it weren’t for the VA, I don’t think I’d be here today. The VA has been caring for me for 30 years, and it’s thanks to them I learned about my diabetes from Agent Orange exposure.”

Thank you, Pablo, for your service.

🎒 Rucking for a Reason in San Angelo

The West Texas VA Health Care System and VA Vet Center are at San Angelo State Park this morning in support of the Su***de Awareness Ruck March taking place shortly.

As participants prepare to step off, our teams are here to connect Veterans, service members, families and community members with resources, support and information about VA health care and Vet Center services.

Events like today’s ruck remind us of something important: no Veteran has to carry life’s burdens alone.

Stop by our outreach tables, meet our teams, learn about available resources, and help us raise awareness for su***de prevention throughout our West Texas communities.

If you’re a Veteran in crisis or concerned about one, Dial 988, then Press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. You can also text 838255.

Thank you to San Angelo State Park, the organizers, participants and community partners who are stepping forward today to support Veterans and su***de prevention.
