Veterans
President George Washington stated: "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportionate to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their country".
I appreciate the contributions of our current military force and veterans to the preservation of American freedom and the Constitution. I will continue to recognize their contributions to the national welfare by seeking equitable pay and benefits for our military personnel, and generous health, education, and other benefits for veterans.
I vigorously resist the attempt by any government agency to nullify or reduce earned benefits to veterans and their survivors, including but not limited to, compensation, pensions, education, and health care.
