Dear Friends,
Today is Veterans Day, a time to pay tribute to the men and women who have served our country in uniform. America owes its freedom to our veterans. We must never forget their sacrifice.
As a member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I’m fighting for our veterans. Earlier this year, I wrote and passed legislation that will help improve care for the new generation of veterans who are returning home with severe and traumatic brain injuries.
Recently, the House of Representatives also passed a resolution I wrote to honor the Sentinels of Freedom program. Sentinels of Freedom provides support to veterans severely wounded on, or after September 11, 2001, including assistance finding housing, securing a job and enrolling in school.
