Issue Position: Veterans & Military Personnel

"As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the son of a veteran, I am personally dedicated to looking out for the interests of all military personnel, active and retired, who call Texas home. The honor-bound agreement between our men and women in uniform and our nation does not end at retirement. No veteran should ever be forgotten."

-- Senator John Cornyn

* We must ensure that veterans receive the health care, retirement pay, and disability benefits that they deserve.
* I will work to improve the quality of life for all veterans. They have paid a debt to our country that we must not forgive or forget.

Senator John Cornyn learned the value of patriotic service to our country from his father, who spent 31 years in the military, beginning as a B-17 pilot in World War II. Growing up in an Air Force family and moving from base to base, he saw first-hand the caliber of those who dedicate years to defending freedom at home and abroad.

Senator Cornyn knows that our nation can never do enough to repay those who have selflessly served and sacrificed for our country. He is dedicated to making certain that our nation's active duty, National Guard and Reserve military forces get the best training and equipment, and that our veterans receive the health care access, services, and benefits they so rightly deserve.

Over the past four years, Senator Cornyn has established a strong record on veterans issues and supporting our military personnel.
