This is outrageous. The idea that @DeptVetAffairs would not honor its promise to our veterans is completely unacceptable. I will work to pressure VA to undertake the work necessary to ensure all veterans receive the GI Bill benefits they are entitled to https://t.co/MniQL3pv4W

We've made progress in addressing issues at @VAManchester that undermined access to quality care for NH veterans but there is more to be done. We must continue to oversee improvements so all Granite State veterans can access the care & services they need. https://t.co/99rbDs39t1

Attention Granite State Veterans: If you are experiencing financial hardship because of GI Bill funds not received, please call 1-888-442-4551 ASAP.

"This has got to be one of the most powerful photographs I have ever seen. Above is a battalion of the Cameron Highlanders in 1914, prior to being despatched to the front line; below is the same battalion upon their return in 1918 after the armistice. "

Attention Granite State veterans: @NHCUC is hosting an Education Expo next Wednesday, November 7th at the @VAManchester. This is a great opportunity for veterans to network and explore their higher education options.

@i_danforth @i_danforth Agreed, it's not the usual "thank you for your service." It could make a real difference. Reading the story, it appears community leaders and county law enforcement came together to make it happen.
