As a Navy SEAL and graduate of the United States Naval Academy, I am uniquely aware of the importance and sacrifice our men and women serving in the military make every day. The men and women serving in our Armed Forces are heroes, and it is the responsibility of the federal government to repay their service and sacrifice with an active and effective support system, medical care and other benefits. I am a vigorous supporter of legislation providing benefits to returning service members and the families of those killed in action.
We need to recognize the sacrifice of all of our service members by keeping better track of returning military personnel so they get the services they deserve. This includes providing them with first-class medical care and other benefits to which they are entitled.
We are free because of our veterans, not because of bureaucrats and politicians.
