A deep and sincere "Thank You."
Our nation’s Veterans have defended our country with distinction and honor. But all too often they come home to a system that does not provide them the care they need and deserve. As I work to make government more effective, I will fight every day to make sure that Veterans from Mississippi have access to programs and services that actually meet their needs.
