While we can never truly repay the debt we owe our heroes, the least we should do for our brave veterans is to ensure that the government takes a proactive approach to delivering the services and benefits they have earned, so they can access the care they need and so richly deserve.

We should be cultivating our female workers. The truth of the matter is that women just see problems and solutions differently, and that's valuable.

We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market.
