Harry Teague: “I am particularly pleased that the President's proposed budget prioritizes the mental health needs of our veterans.”

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.

I believe that this bill does exactly what this Subcommittee is supposed to be doing, creating economic opportunity for our veterans.

Like many of you, I think it is about time that we start doing as much for our veterans as they have done for us.

We have an obligation to help those who have defended our country by giving them the tools they need to rejoin the civilian workforce.
