Elizabeth Dole: “Now I urge you to remain united, to continue to put veterans and caregivers first, and to pass these bills.”

The Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act, in particular, is bipartisan legislation that will make it possible for severely injured veterans to spend more time recovering at home.

They deserve to have the same benefits that post-9/11 veterans do when they are dealing with the most serious injuries, illnesses, and wounds.

Some of America's greatest challenges could only be solved with the leadership, power, and resources entrusted to you, our elected representatives.

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.
