We have an obligation to ensure our nation’s veterans are provided with the most comprehensive and accessible assistance programs available. We must not only redouble our efforts to care for those who have already served in the armed forces, but as a new generation of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen and Marines return home from around the globe, we must also make certain that they have continued access to the health, education, and employment services they undeniably deserve.
