Mike Michaud: “Where partnerships exist, they need to be strengthened. Where they don't, they need to be fostered.”

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.

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

VETS is committed to reducing veterans' unemployment nationally by helping each veteran through individual services.

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