Elizabeth Dole: “I applaud your efforts in protecting our country through your respective positions.”

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.

You know, Bob and I always said that the most meaningful change happens when our leaders work across the aisle.

It is a very unfair situation. We need the legislation we are focused on today so that as soon as possible we can begin to meet the very unique needs of the pre-9/11 servicemembers and their caregivers.

You are sending a very powerful signal that our Nation's leaders must stand with America's military caregivers.
