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