Veterans


Congresswoman Jenkins joins in a ribbon cutting ceremony at the CBOC VA in Parsons.

The men and women who have sacrificed defending our nation deserve the highest quality care when they return home. Meeting their needs is a priority of mine. From access to high quality health care, to education opportunities and other readjustment assistance, I am committed to working hard for the veterans in the Second District.
 
The VA hospitals in Topeka and Leavenworth provide valuable health services for our veterans. I will work to make certain these centers are able to continue caring for veterans in Eastern Kansas.
 
As a member of the House Military Veterans Caucus, I will work to make certain we never forget or take for granted the sacrifices our veterans and their families made to preserve the freedoms you and I enjoy. Those who have fought to protect our freedom deserve nothing less than our unwavering support.
