Donald Trump is rallying the troops.

Literally.

His campaign announced Thursday the formation of a new coalition: "Veterans for Trump."

In a press release distributed by Trump's campaign, it states that the group consists of veterans in New Hampshire who have pledged support for Trump in the primary.

"Our Veterans are incredibly important and I'm proud to have the support of this coalition, especially in New Hampshire, where if I am elected I will build a full-service, first-class VA hospital to ensure all New Hampshire Veterans received the care they deserve," Trump said in the statement.

The press release also references actions made earlier this week by Trump to reach out to the veteran community, including the creation of a veteran hotline and email address specifically for veterans to "share their stories about the need to reform our Veterans Administration."

Yeah, McCain and the media will try to destroy this group like they did the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. McCain said the claims of the Swift Boat Vets were lies and dishonorable in 2004. In 2008 he took money from them.

There are very few top notch.hospitals in area let alone top quality for vets. Out reach smaller local hisoitals with staff rotating in from major large city is the most successful here. Helicopter pads for major emergency cases are less expensive than buying all the equiptment.
