Elizabeth Dole: “They deserve to have the same benefits that post-9/11 veterans do when they are dealing with the most serious injuries…”

I do not see how we can be a nation that truly cares for our military and veteran communities if we wait another day to get this legislation passed.

I ask you again, members of the Committee, and all of you here today to give your full support to the military caregivers serving our Nation.

I hope that that piece of legislation is going to pass because if we want to foster a Nation that supports hidden heroes, all hidden heroes, these wonderful caregivers, then it is important to pass both pieces of legislation.

Some of America's greatest challenges could only be solved with the leadership, power, and resources entrusted to you, our elected representatives.
