Stephanie Herseth Sandlin: “I applaud these efforts and the work of the thousands of Federal employees tasked to assist our Nation's veterans.”

The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) program should be the 'crown jewel' of VA benefits.

I strongly believe that forests must be fully recognized in any energy and climate change legislation for the essential role they play in reducing carbon emissions and in generating renewable energy.

My caseworkers in South Dakota report that the homeless Veterans they have worked with are very distrustful of the VA and generally unwilling to go there for assistance.

Some of my goals for energy and climate change legislation include: protecting South Dakotans from a rise in electricity rates.
