I am grateful to America's veterans who have served this country with pride and fought for the freedom we enjoy.  As your Congressman, I am obligated and honored to help you get the benefits to which you are entitled. This also includes obtaining lost or missing medals. If you would like my help with a VA issue, please print out my authorization form and fax or mail it to my office.

As with any other issue of concern to you, I hope you'll take the time to let me know how you feel about this issue. To find the best means to contact me, click here.

Common questions related to the Veterans Administration:

How can I get a copy of my military records (discharge, medical, etc.)?
Most military records are stored at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri. If you are trying to get records from your military service, or that of a family member, I will need your written permission to help with this issue. Please print out my authorization form and fax or mail it to my office.

How can I get the medals I was awarded during my service but never received?
Military medals are handled primarily through the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In most cases, it is faster to get medals if you work through a congressional office. If you are owed medals from your service, please print out my authorization form and fax or mail it to my office.

How can I get my VA claim or appeal processed faster?
The Veterans Administration currently has many claims pending for various types of benefits. Because of that, many veterans feel that their case might be overlooked or handled improperly. I am always glad to help in these situations. At my request, the VA will "flag" a particular case and keep me updated throughout the process. However, it is important to know that I cannot act as the "representative" on a person's VA claim. You may still want an attorney or veterans representative to help you with this. My actions will not affect the work done by the person you select as your representative. If you would like my help with a VA issue, please print out my authorization form and fax or mail it to my office.
