We are addressing the skill gap between veterans and employers who are seeking employees with industry-recognized credentials.
So we have a situation in our country where 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.
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.
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.
