Greg Walden Statement on Debt Relief for Veterans Impacted by Wildfires

Statement

Today, Representative Greg Walden (R-Hood River) shared an update on veterans impacted by Oregon wildfires after the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that they will extend debt relief for veterans impacted by natural disasters, including wildfires.

"Many veterans in my district have been adversely impacted by Oregon's wildfires and we need to make sure they can focus on their safety and health right now, not on financial issues. I am pleased that Secretary Wilkie recognizes this need and has taken steps to give veterans with pending debts some leave way during these tragic times," said Walden.
