BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
"Families like the Simcakoski's have a story that needs to be heard. Jason Simcakoski volunteered to serve his country in the Marines, but tragically, like too many veterans, his life was cut short. I was proud to work with the Simcakoski family to honor Jason's legacy in 2016, and every year since, by making real changes at the VA to improve care and protect veterans, overhauling opioid prescribing practices and saving lives. Today, veterans across the country are receiving better, safer care because of "Jason's Law.' By renaming the Tomah VA, we will continue to honor Jason's legacy and the Simcakoski family's work to ensure this devastating loss continues saving lives for years to come."
