Mike Michaud: “We urge the Committee to consider this legislation as soon as possible.”

So we have a situation in our country where 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.

When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.

And so our bill, the PAWS Act, takes these veterans, particularly the ones that have severe Post-Traumatic Stress, and authorizes a small amount of funding so that the VA can pair them with specially trained service dogs.

VETS is committed to reducing veterans' unemployment nationally by helping each veteran through individual services.
