Recent legislative actions in Congress have focused on honoring and supporting veterans. Rep. Van Orden's VETT Act passed, aiming to ease administrative burdens for veterans transitioning to civilian life. Other bills target restoring GI Bill benefits for defrauded student veterans and cutting red tape to ensure veterans can access benefits and care, even if their military records were lost.
The House passed my bill, the VA CDL Act, to eliminate red tape that prevents veterans from accessing commercial driver-education programs using their GI Bill benefits. Thank you to @RepVanOrden for your collaboration to expand job opportunities for the men and women who served…
It’s unconscionable that any veteran would be prevented from accessing benefits because their military records were lost by the government. I’ve joined a bill to cut red tape & allow veterans whose records were lost – through no fault of their own – to access benefits & care.
We are one step closer to the long overdue restoration of GI Bill benefits for student veterans who have been defrauded by for-profit colleges and universities. Tomorrow, as my Student Veteran Benefit Restoration Act comes to the floor, I urge all my colleagues to vote YES! https://t.co/y0yPlPmJcL
NEW: Rep. Van Orden’s VETT Act just passed the House. This bill removes burdensome administrative mandates for veterans enrolling in higher education and will assist them in their transition of being a productive member of the military to a productive member of civilian life. https://t.co/q5BMhkLfIX
Was honored to host a Congressional Commemoration Ceremony on Saturday to honor the many brave veterans who served during the Vietnam War — we are forever in their debt. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 https://t.co/unL5EsFGnJ
Earlier this week, I had the honor of presenting a Vietnam Veteran with medals he earned while serving our country - but had never received. My #1 mission in Congress is to ensure our veterans are honored and have access to all the benefits they have earned. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/tq5aYVyVyw
