I do not think that forcing a veteran to take money out of his pocket or her pocket while they are accessing benefits that they have earned makes sense.

This bill would allow family caregivers to get some of their travel expenses paid for when they are accompanying veterans to medical treatment facilities.

I believe that this measure is the least we can do for our Nation's veterans after they have given so much in defense of our country.

It is frankly shameful that this bill needs to be enacted to get the VHA to act decently, honestly, and as common sense would dictate.

It was my honor and pleasure to introduce this bill and I believe that this legislation will provide some needed relief for the families who care for our Nation's veterans.

This bill would allow family caregivers to have some of their travel expenses paid for when they are accompanying veteran to medical treatment facilities.

This bill also recognizes not only the immediate family caregivers that reside with the veteran but also extended family members and stepchildren that may not reside with the veteran.

the projected $144 million in the president's FY 2010 budget request will allow for expansion of the GPD program

I am Harry Teague from New Mexico and while I was home on the Memorial break, we actually had dedication of a 20-room facility for homeless veterans, a transition home of sorts.

H.R. 2504 introduced by Representative Teague of New Mexico would do that.

H.R. 2180 would amend title 38 of the United States Code to waive VA home loan fees for certain veterans with service-connected disabilities that have been recalled to active service.
