Veterans

To everyone reading this page, please know that it is an honor to serve you – you have served us so well – and now it's our time to serve you. There's not much in Congress we do that's more important than serving our veterans.

Ensuring that quality services are being delivered to each of you is one of my greatest missions as a public servant. I am happy to assist veterans with obtaining their military records and medals, with questions they have concerning eligibility for benefits provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), or who may be experiencing difficulties with the VA Health Care System or the VA claims and appeals process.

I thank each of you for your service and can assure you that as long as I am in The Congress, your needs will remain a priority for me and my staff.

will need to be completed and sent with a detailed explanation of your request for assistance to one of my district offices.
