Last week Connecticut broke ground on a new memorial to honor the 65 men and women who died serving our country in the war on terror. Like all memorials, this beautiful place will serve both as a source of comfort for loved ones, as well as a lasting reminder of the cost of freedom. That cost is measured in lives, but also in promises kept. We have a duty to honor our veterans and support their families. That is why I am a proud author of the Caregivers Expansion and Improvement Act. My bill would assist home caregivers of all veterans injured during their service, allowing them to recover in the comfort of their own homes. I stand with the VFW and the DAV to do my part to ensure that we care and honor all those who so bravely serve our country. I urge my colleagues to cosponsor H.R. 3383. ____________________
