U.S. Representative Sean Duffy (WI-07) met with nearly 100 Veterans at a standing room only meeting in Rothschild on Wednesday. During the roundtable style discussion, Rep. Duffy offered an update on a number of issues facing Veterans today. Among them, his "Veterans Access to Healthy Hearing" bill which is on track to be signed into law. Rep. Duffy commented, "This is a simple fix, but very meaningful if you are having some hearing issues."
Rep. Duffy also addressed the on-going need to ensure that Veterans are receiving the best possible care from the Veterans Administration (VA): "If Veterans cannot get the care that they've been promised - if we're leaving even one man or one woman behind - that's unacceptable. As in any organization, you get some bad actors, but we want to streamline the firing of anyone who are not serving our Veterans the way they should.
"It is important we get people in the VA who are mission driven to get in there and take care of you and make sure your needs are met."
The Congressman closed his remarks encouraging those in attendance to not be shy about reaching-out to his office if they are in need of assistance:
If a Veteran is in need of assistance navigating the VA, or any Federal Agency, he or she are encouraged to call Rep. Duffy's Wausau office, 715-298-9344.
