You have got to break down the silos that are currently out there, which is difficult at times to do.
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.
The best practices from these successes will guide efforts in the rest of the country and the momentum generated by the President's focus will propel all of us towards the national goal.
