Jon Runyan: “Any veteran that is denied a benefit because their records are lost due to no fault of their own is just unacceptable.”

Any impediments to veterans who might show clear and irrefutable evidence that they should be granted benefits, should be considered.

You don't want to rob Peter to pay Paul, or fix one problem by creating another.

Intimidation or retaliation, not just against whistleblowers but against any employee who raises their hand to identify a problem, is absolutely unacceptable.

I hope that we can put to rest any notion that the Department of Defense is withholding information that could positively impact these veterans' claims.
