First and foremost, our country owes the many women and men who have served our nation a debt of gratitude, and we in Congress strive to repay that every day.  The service rendered to our nation by our veterans has been critical to keeping America safe, and it is our duty to provide the appropriate care and compensation they deserve when they return home.  

As the son of a World War II veteran, I am also proud to employ veterans as key members of my congressional staff.  I will continue to advocate and work to allocate funds to ensure our veterans receive the services they earned.
