President Obama and Secretary of Labor Perez are committed to ensuring that the brave warriors who serve this country have the employment support, assistance and opportunities they need and deserve.
I think that is so important in a job like this one which is really about administration and about problem-solving and about getting things done on behalf of our veterans.
We continue to work to end homelessness among our veterans by providing services that help them establish a stable, long-term employment.
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.
