STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Ten

Whereas, our veterans who live in New Hampshire have served their country bravely and risked their lives to preserve our country’s freedom and democracy, and their sacrifices in our behalf are deserving of a full-service veterans’ hospital in New Hampshire to meet their health care needs; and

Whereas, there is a great unmet need for a full-service veterans’ hospital in New Hampshire due to the great number of veterans in the state; and

Whereas, regrettably, New Hampshire currently lacks the full range of health care services and resources for these proud men and women; and

Whereas, adequate care of our veterans should be the concern of all Americans; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the New Hampshire legislature respectfully urges the Congress of the United States and the Department of Veterans Affairs to fulfill the Department’s goal of providing excellence in patient care by building a full-service veterans’ hospital in New Hampshire to benefit those veterans who have bravely defended and served our country; and

That the senate clerk forward official copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and to all the members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation with the request that this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
