Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an amazing advocate for peaceful protests, in prayer, for social change and the development of civil rights. It is in his tremendous spirit that I am advocating for the Veteran's Hospital and asking for additional supporters of this petition to Save the VA in Hot Springs, SD. The Veteran's need help to keep their vital resource for mental health and PTSD treatments. The Veteran's Health Administration's Mission statement is as follows: "Honor America's Veterans by providing exceptional healthcare that improves their health and well-being". How is removing a hospital that serves Veterans, First Nation People, and vulnerable people providing exceptional healthcare? Please send the link to this petition to your friends, family, colleagues, and anyone you can reach out to for support of our Veterans. We have reached a milestone with 201 supporters as of this morning. Hampton Roads, VA is recognizing the important need for mental health services in our area; tell the VHA that mental health and healthcare is needed to stay in Hot Springs, SD too. Thank You-Caroline
