Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the house amendments to S. 1963, the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act. Today we are taking action to begin to address the needs of not only those who serve, but their families as well. All too often we see families and friends altering their lives to care for those who served our country and then return home wounded or disabled. Many caregivers have lost their jobs and benefits, and have had to dip into their hard-earned savings just to provide the care our wounded warriors so desperately need. S. 1963 will begin to ensure that disabled veterans and their families will have the resources and support, both technical and financial, needed to provide care. We can never fully repay our veterans and their families for their service and the personal sacrifices they continue to make. The passage of this bill is a start--and will go a long way to ensure they receive the benefits they need, deserve, and have courageously earned.”
