VA needs support now! by Frank Ehrenfried, Jun 12, 2008 (3:54pm)

This bill would greatly benefit the veterans who have fought so hard for our country. It seems absurd that they must fight for health benefits after being afflicted by mental conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I don’t care if you need to devote more tax dollars towards the VA’s budget, it is a disservice to these men and women to just leave them in the cold both medically and financially.
