Mike Michaud: “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.

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.

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.
