National Committees:
ETBO
Membership
Veterans Benefits.
My main concerns lie in these committees:
(1) Membership Committee - Our membership is growing but we still need to reach more Vietnam era veterans. Without a continuous, dedicated effort by our leadership, we will never achieve these goals.
(2) ETBO - Concerning our working veterans, we need to supply them with all the tools needed to make their job successful.
(3)Veterans Benefits - My main concern today is making sure that all veterans receive the benefits due them from the VA. I will stay in contact with Congress and the Senate so I will know the current status of funds appropriated to the VA.
I would appreciate your vote at the upcoming election.
