Veterans

• As a U.S. Army veteran myself, I deeply appreciate the contributions of my fellow servicemen and veterans to the preservation of American freedom. I shall continue to recognize their contributions to the national welfare by promoting equitable pay and benefits to our military personnel, and generous health, education, and other benefits to veterans.

• I will oppose all attempts by any government agency to nullify or reduce earned benefits to veterans and their survivors, including but not limited to, compensation, pensions, education, and health care.
