Mike Michaud: “Maintaining our nation's economic leadership in the decades ahead will require highly skilled and educated employees.”

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.

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

If you look at the chart comparing women veterans to female non-veterans, you can see in that chart that actually the female veterans' number is lower than the female non-veterans.
