Mike Michaud: “I brought forward a plan to actually reorganize the whole Department.”

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

So we have a situation in our country where 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.

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

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.
