Dole does get things done

Thursday, August 14, 2008 We need your help. For the past couple weeks there have been ads on TV that are very insulting to us veterans and family and friends of veterans. They talk about the years Sen. Dole has been in Washington and getting nothing done.

First of all, just to be a little political. How can anything get done that shows up on the news with the mess that has been going for the last decade? Ask a veteran about the changes that Sen. Dole has helped to accomplish at our last VA hospitals.

I am a veterans, and was a veteran when I was trying to get help for my brother and father-in-law. It was disgraceful what they had to go through. I couldn’t believe what they were being put through after serving their country.

About three years ago I suffered a life-changing experience. Now I suffer from PTSD from my Vietnam tours. I started seeking help from the VA. The first visit I had I really thought someone had called ahead and asked for special privileges for me.

I was treated like I was special. And talking with other veterans, RNs and doctors at the Salisbury hospital, they were giving all the credit to Sen. Dole’s involvement with the veterans’ issues for North Carolina. You would be amazed, especially if you had involvement prior to Sen. Dole’s success.

Yes, it doesn't look like Mrs. Dole is getting much done with gas prices, foreclosures, high cost of food and school supplies. But when it’s something Sen. Dole can do for us locally, she gets it done.

That’s what is important during these trying times.
