REEDLEY, Calif.—An inactive National Guard Armory licensed to “The Reedley Area Veterans” to operate and maintain since 2004 has been torn down, and the site is being turned into low-income apartments.

“I’m not happy about it, and I just think we were dealt a low blow, if you will, by the state,” Vietnam veteran Ralph Urbano, president of the Reedley Area Veterans, told The Epoch Times.
