This week, House Republicans will introduce H.R. 4366, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024, to fully fund our Department of Veterans Affairs. As a 24-year Army veteran and chairwoman of the Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health, I understand how crucial it is to have a fully funded VA Department. These appropriations bills will ensure that the VA has the resources needed to continue their vital operations. Current armed services members will also see a more than $17 billion investment that will go entirely toward improving the quality of life in their barracks and family housing. These commonsense policies will help improve the VA and the military as a whole, and I urge all of my colleagues to support them. Lead by Example
