STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Seven

A RESOLUTION urging that more veterans’ mental health counseling centers be established in New Hampshire and urging that funding be continued for the Manchester Veterans’ Center.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

Whereas, New Hampshire has one veterans’ mental health counseling center in Manchester which must continue to be funded; and

Whereas, New Hampshire has many veterans that have suffered because of service to their country; and

Whereas, 2 additional veterans’ mental health counseling centers would allow veterans in western New Hampshire and in the north country to receive mental health services in their return to civilian life; and

Whereas, funding by the federal government for such purposes will help acclimate our citizen soldiers and their families; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

That the general court hereby urges that funding be continued for the Manchester Veterans’ Center in Manchester, New Hampshire; and

That the general court hereby recommends and encourages the New Hampshire congressional delegation to support funding for the 2 additional veterans’ mental health counseling centers; and
