Mike Michaud: “Mike Michaud probably has as much experience in veterans' affairs issues as anyone in the Congress.”

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.

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.

I greatly appreciate that we are all partners in promoting opportunities for veterans and in protecting their rights.
