Rep. Capito Statement on Veterans Day

Statement

U.S. Representative Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement on Veterans Day today:

"When America has asked for help, West Virginians have answered the call. I extend my deepest thanks and gratitude to all of our nation's veterans.

"Our veterans have been called upon to make special sacrifices, spending months or even years away from their families, facing danger in foreign lands. We as a nation cannot let any veteran -- young or old; male or female; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, Reserves or National Guard -- slip through the cracks.

"We as a nation must provide for our veterans, and we must care for the wounds that can be seen as well as the wounds that are less visible. I will continue to support legislation to improve standards of care for our veterans, identify and treat post-traumatic stress disorder, and speed up the claims process at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Our veterans deserve nothing less."
