Veterans
Those who bravely served our country in the armed forces deserve all the benefits to which they are entitled. It is important to honor those who served our country and especially those who were disabled by their service. As the daughter, spouse, and sister of veterans I honor the millions of veterans who live across the country, and here in New York, for their service and sacrifice. Throughout my time in Congress I have made veterans’ issues a priority, and I remain committed to improving the lives of veterans and ensuring access to the services they need.
