Mike Michaud: “Our veterans deserve a VA that works for them; not one that refuses to work at all.”

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

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.

We are addressing the skill gap between veterans and employers who are seeking employees with industry-recognized credentials.
