Honoring and Caring for Our Veterans
Representing a district that is home to so many veterans of our armed forces and their families, I am especially committed to making sure their service is honored and they are treated with the respect and care they have earned. According to census figures, there are over 740,000 veterans living in North Carolina -- with 149,000 of those in counties that comprise the Second District. I appreciate the contributions and sacrifices made by each and every veteran and service family. On this page and on the pages linked below you will find general information about programs available for veterans and their families.

Standing up for Veterans
I’ve co-sponsored and voted for numerous pieces of legislation to honor and provide for our veterans, including HR 743 Hire a Hero Act, HR 1297 Ensuring Pay for our Military Act, HR 1407 Veterans' Cost-of-Living Compensation Adjustment Act of 2011, HR 1832 Servicemembers' Telemedicine and E-Health Portability Act of 2011 and HR 2070 WWII Memorial Prayer Act of 2011. If you have any questions about legislation relating to veterans, please contact my Washington office at 202/225-4531.
