Mike Michaud: “Thank you. The committee is aware that the VA had conducted several pilot projects, such as Project HERO and Project…”

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.

This has strong support from key veterans groups, like the VFW and The American Legion.

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

There is no better way to overcome a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth.
