Mike Michaud: “Providing veterans with an opportunity for employment is a top priority of this committee.”

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

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.

When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.

USERRA prohibits discrimination in employment based on an individual's prior service in the uniformed services, current service in the uniformed services, or intent to join the uniformed services.
