Issue Position: Veterans and Military Families

Issue Position

Our men and women in uniform do an incredible job. They are tough, smart, and resourceful, and they fight with courage and honor. Our military families show the same courage. All three of my brothers served in the military and my oldest brother was career military, with 288 combat missions in Vietnam, so I have a first-hand idea of how much they and their families contribute to our country.

As a U.S. Senator, I will continue to do all I can to support servicemembers, their families, and veterans. I will work hard to help ease the return to civilian life by supporting a strong GI Bill, ensuring that veterans have top-notch health care, and taking action to create jobs. Our servicemembers and military families contribute so much to our country - we owe them the best.

The sacred trust we have with our military families is also why it is so important for our political leaders to make good decisions when it comes to our foreign policy and national security.
