BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“Montana veterans are the fabric that make our nation the very best in the world, so it’s my honor to bring Fred Hamilton, a top-notch Montana vet exposed to toxins in Vietnam and other countries, to the State of the Union address. After 30 years of fighting, Fred is finally getting the VA benefits he earned in service to our country because of the PACT Act. This law is helping generations of veterans who were exposed to toxins in conflicts across the globe receive their earned health care and benefits, and I’ll keep taking my cues from Montana veterans like Fred to ensure the government is honoring its promises to them.”
