DAVID SCOTT - CONGRESSMAN, REPRESENTING GEORGIA'S 13TH DISTRICT

Veterans

Veterans

America’s veterans are some of the most courageous individuals in our country and I praise them for putting their lives on the line in times of unrest. It is important that when our troops return from the battlefield they receive the appropriate amount of heath care and benefits. Let it be known that I fully support efforts to improve health care benefits and retirement plans for our veterans. I have also increased efforts to improve the quality of living for all current military families. Additionally, as a Member of Congress with Fort Gillem in my district, I understand the importance of keeping a commissary in the Metro Atlanta area. I have advocated for the commissary at Fort Gillem to remain open despite the Defense Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Commission's recommendation for its closure. I have written letters to the Secretary of Defense voicing my and my constituent’s concern for this facility. You can be certain that I will continue to fight hard to make sure our veterans get the respect and support that they deserve.
