Saying they’d rather not lose the war over one battle, the Gainesville chapter of the Disabled American Veterans has decided to pay some $10,250 to the state chapter of the DAV.

Local members of the group met Thursday night in the Army Reserve Training Center, debating for an hour whether they should back down.
