National Defense:
As a former servicemember, I love
our nation's military. They sacrifice
time away from their loved ones in
austere and dangerous conditions for
little pay and they promote the dignity
of freedom around the globe. May God
continue to bless and sustain them
and their families in their praiseworthy
efforts. It is the obligation and
responsibility of our government to
ensure they have the finest equipment,
the budget, training and pay available.
The Veterans Administration can be
streamlined and funded to function
more efficiently. We cannot turn our
backs on our veterans. They deserve
our respect and access to the medical
treatment and programs they need
from the Veterans Administration.
Anything less is unacceptable.
