March 6, 2006 -- Representative C.W. Bill Young today was recognized by the Veterans of Foreign Wars for his service to our nation's veterans. Young was presented with the 2006 VFW Congressional Service Award in recognition of his years of commitment to improving veterans health care and benefits, and for continuing to intervene with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies on behalf of his many constituents who have served in uniform. Addressing the crowd of 1400 VFW leaders, Young commented, "We could have retired quite some time ago, but I have committed to stay so that I can continue to lead the charge for those who serve in the military, those who served in the past and those who will serve in the future." Young later met with VFW leaders from Pinellas County in his Capitol Hill office to further work through issues and priorities most important to the VFW and its members.
