Veterans
Again and again, the people of our Armed Services demonstrate extraordinary courage and selflessness. The sacrifices they and their families routinely make are difficult to fathom. In Congress, Congresswoman Wilson is committed to honoring our service members not only with words but with deeds. She cosponsored the Feed Hungry Veterans Act, which improves access to federal nutrition programs for disabled veterans as a reflection of this. Too many of our veterans return home with physical and mental trauma that is left unaddressed. Our responsibility to support our armed forces does not terminate at the end of their deployment. She strongly supports efforts to increase funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that all veterans have access to top quality healthcare and employment services. She has also been a strong supporter of the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Appropriations, which puts millions of dollars toward the Department of Housing and Development to fund affordable housing for veterans. Caring for returning warriors is one of society's most sacred obligations. It's an obligation Congresswoman Wilson promises to uphold.
In Congress, she will continue to advocate that our troops have the best equipment, healthcare, and services available. The one percent of Americans who voluntarily raise their right hand and swear to protect the rest of us deserve nothing less. These individuals also deserve honest, forthright and clear answers whenever we choose to send them into harm's way. As a Member of Congress, Congresswoman Wilson will make sure that we make smart, intelligent decisions regarding the use of military force.
