To the editor:
The veterans in New Hampshire need to support Kelly Ayotte as she faces a tough challenge from Tax ’em Hassan.
Kelly Ayotte helped with the Veterans Choice Program when I was having a tough time getting an appointment for an orthopedic doctor outside of the V.A. system to look at my knees. I went to the V.A. and my primary care physician said I needed my knees to be taken care of and he referred me to the Veterans Choice Program. Well, after two months of not getting anywhere I called Sen. Ayotte’s office and after talking with her people I had my appointment the next day. I had my right knee fully replaced on Aug. 15 and I am doing my physical therapy at Hampshire Hills. I am also scheduled for my left knee to be operated on Nov. 14. If it was not for Sen. Ayotte’s office, I don’t know how long I would have waited. She helped to implement the program and her office knew how to get the services I needed fast.
So veterans, please support Kelly this year with a vote for her, as she will always take care of the veterans.
