Honoring Our Veterans

In Congress, I will continue to support our troops and fight for the local military as I did when I worked with former Congressman Schwarz to save the Battle Creek Air National Guard Base. But I will also be willing to think independently, ask tough questions of any Administration, and demand change when necessary.

I'd also support our soldiers and their families who have sacrificed so much by allowing longer breaks and more time at home for our military personnel. In that spirit, I recently co-sponsored a comprehensive package of bills to support Michigan veterans. The legislation would help protect veteran's homes from foreclosure, assist our veterans with economic and job opportunities, and help ensure that they can send their children to college.

After all they've done for us, it's the least we can do for them.
