Issue Position: Veterans Issues

Issue Position

America made commitments to its soldiers and it falls upon all of our shoulders to ensure our nation honors those commitments. One of those soldiers is my grandfather, Kenneth "Cowboy" Morris, a World War II veteran who participated in the D-Day invasion in 1944.

Veterans need our support in the timely processing of their claims and in meeting their health care needs, including PTSD treatment. Those returning home from the wars of today -- Iraq and Afghanistan -- also need good employment opportunities. The veterans from today's wars are often Reservists and National Guardsmen and women who drop their civilian lives to go serve their country for a year or often more. Sometimes it is very difficult to come back to the same economic situation they had before deployment.
