There may be some confusion about ten TV sets and a veterans group who is just trying to help out their comrades.
The local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) spent just over $1,400 about two months ago to buy television sets for the veterans who were living in the old state run veterans home in Little Rock.
Now the crumbling old home is closed and the vets who lived there are living at other homes.
"I'd like to know where those TVs are and what vets have them. Not what home, but what vet has them, because that's what we spent the money on that people donated to us," says DAV's Richard Egan.
Arkansas' VA director Cissy Rucker says the TV sets that were donated to the home are now state property, but the ones that were donated to individual veterans went with them vets to their new homes.
