Letter To The Editor
To the Editor,
I am a veteran and I’m so happy to see that the House and Senate
have voted on a VA bill that will help vets. Congresswoman Carol
Shea-Porter was the first on the scene in 2008 with her bill calling
for a full-service hospital or access to local care for states
without a full-service hospital. It was great to see Senator Shaheen
introduce Shea-Porter’s bill in the Senate in 2009, and then in 2011
to watch Senator Ayotte support it also. It has been a long road,
but the NH women of the House and Senate got the job done.
It took time for the rest of Congress to understand what
Congresswoman Shea-Porter, wife of a veteran, understood from the
beginning. This nation needs to keep its promises to its vets. I
send a big “thank you” to Congresswoman Shea-Porter and Senators
Shaheen and Ayotte.
