Ribble Continues to Fight for Veterans' Wellbeing

Today, Congressman Reid Ribble (WI-08) announced his support for the Veterans' Bill of Rights. The nationwide Circle of Friends for American Veterans (COFAV) recognizes and commends him on his continued work to help our country's veterans.

"The men and women who have sacrificed to serve our nation deserve our respect, our appreciation, and for their government to keep the promises that it has made to them," Ribble said. "I am proud to affirm the Veterans' Bill of Rights and to continue my work to support veterans and their families."

The challenges facing our country's nearly 22 million veterans are many. There are almost 100,000 homeless veterans, nearly 700,000 cases of PTSD & TBI, and 22 veteran suicides each day. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, half of all veterans returning from a war zone suffer from chronic pain.

Congressman Reid Ribble believes that America has a moral obligation to care for those who have served our nation by providing them with the best medical care and aid in re-entering the civilian workforce. During his time in Congress, Congressman Ribble has voted for and sponsored legislation that fulfills this obligation, and continues that commitment through his support for the Veterans' Bill of Rights.
