Mike Michaud: “Unequivocally committed to providing veterans the best possible care, the VHA would act rapidly on all findings that may…”

There is no better way to overcome a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth.

We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.

As a veteran, I don't feel like I needed to be rebooted, because I am concerned that word by itself may detract somewhat from the decision that our young men and women are making to serve their country.

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.
