Daniel Akaka actually said...

"We thank you for this legislation's recognition of the integral role caregivers serve in managing both medical and non-medical care of our wounded, ill, and injured veterans."

"The bipartisan caregivers' bill, S. 801, will give family members the support they need to care for the Nation's wounded warriors."

"I am joined by Senator Baucus and Senator Begich in supporting a bill, S. 734, which would provide much needed services for veterans returning to rural areas."

"We thank Senator Akaka for introducing this bill and congressional staffers for working with DAV to address the unmet needs of caregivers of severely injured veterans."
