Elizabeth Dole: “Serving as a United States Senator was one of the greatest honors of my life.”

Now I urge you to remain united, to continue to put veterans and caregivers first, and to pass these bills.

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.

Well, the RAND report has told us that the military and veteran caregivers are experiencing a much higher rate of negative health consequences as a result of their caregiving services.

These caregivers are just as terrified. Just as isolated. Just as important to their veterans.
