Although the VA has made some progress recently, the pace is still too slow for many of our veterans waiting for their claims to be processed. As a Marine Corps combat veteran, I am proud to join my colleagues on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee to urge the passage of H.R. 2189. There are nearly 400,000 veterans in Colorado, and these men and women need Washington to step up and help the VA to reduce the backlog.

You need to come before the Congress of the United States to have those altered.
I think the notion that we're still at the point where neither DoD or VA has taken the lead--and I think that one of them has to have ownership for it.
You have had very, very positive things and intuitive things that you have done for not only constituents in your district, but across the entire country.
You will never change the culture of bureaucratic incompetence in the VA unless you are willing to look through those 400 positions.
