McCain forms N.H. veterans group
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterU.S. Sen. John McCain's campaign has formed a group tasked with reaching out to veterans across the Granite State.
New Hampshire Veterans for John McCain is co-chaired by Paul Chevalier and Griff Dalianis. Chevalier is a former commander of the New Hampshire Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"Veterans back John McCain because he always backs us. From working tirelessly to improve veterans' health care to streamlining VA services, Senator McCain clearly understands that our nation is forever indebted to those who served in our nation's armed forces," said Chevalier in a press release.
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge was on hand to announce the group in Manchester.
