Mike Michaud: “We shouldn't make veterans wait for the solution to be implemented.”

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.

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

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