Veterans

My father was part of what we now call “The Greatest Generation.”  He flew missions over Europe in World War II as a bombardier navigator.  I believe the men and women who defend our country and democracy around the world today have established themselves as the next “Greatest Generation.”

Every man and woman who dons the uniform and takes the oath to serve and give their life to defend our country should be entitled to the best medical benefits and education opportunities.  It is the very least we can do for their service and sacrifice.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is broken and in serious need of reforms.  The scandals of 2014 have brought to light disheartening stories of mistreatment of our nation's heroes.  I invite you to read my Op-Ed on the scandal and how we can fix the Department of Veterans Affairs.
