Mike Michaud: “Women have answered the call and today serve our country alongside their male counterparts.”

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

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

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.

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