Veterans Affairs

Date: Jan. 1, 2015
Issues: Veterans

Throughout the course of American history, courageous men and women have taken up arms to secure, defend, and maintain the core principles upon which our nation's freedoms depend: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Today there are more than 25 million living veterans who served our nation in times of peace and war. These veterans have diverse religious beliefs and come from varying backgrounds and ethnicities. By their service, they kept America strong, and they have protected our way of life from tyranny's grip for over two centuries. Our nation will always be grateful for their service and the noble sacrifices made by these veterans.

Having numerous veterans in Georgia's Third Congressional District, I am always working to ensure veterans nationwide have the tools, resources, and care they need. The Veterans Administration is a work in progress, but I am optimistic that with proper oversight from Congress, we can make sure each veteran is getting the benefits they served for. Protecting the veterans who so bravely protected our nation when called to action is and will remain one of my top priorities while in Washington.
