When that happens, it is up to us to exercise our constitutional authority and exercise our oversight powers.
I am particularly pleased that the President's proposed budget prioritizes the mental health needs of our veterans.
We have an obligation to help those who have defended our country by giving them the tools they need to rejoin the civilian workforce.
I simply think that it is wrong to expect someone who has served their country, and been injured as a result of that service, be penalized because we, as a government, are putting them back in uniform.
