Elizabeth Dole: “It is vitally important. We find that when a caregiver is so isolated, so alone, they do not know there are others out…”

It is a very unfair situation. We need the legislation we are focused on today so that as soon as possible we can begin to meet the very unique needs of the pre-9/11 servicemembers and their caregivers.

Now I urge you to remain united, to continue to put veterans and caregivers first, and to pass these bills.

We are encouraged to see progress here.
