On Veterans

Our veterans who have served the nation so bravely in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve our help in returning to civilian life once their military service ends.

I supported legislation to modernize the GI Bill so that it once again pays for most if not all of a college education for the men and women who have served our country with such courage and dedication.

I also supported legislation to improve the services that our veterans receive - and to address the head injuries and traumatic injuries to arms and legs that have accompanied the widespread use of improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan.
