Six nurses from the Long Beach Veterans Administration Hospital will accompany Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske in the 16th annual Veterans Day Parade on November 10, 2012.
?The Veterans Administration Hospital here in Long Beach is one of the best facilities for spinal cord and traumatic injury patients.
