Following through on his pledge to support local veterans, Congressman Tom Suozzi convened his first meeting with his newly formed Veterans Advisory Committee. The committee’s purpose is to ensure that veterans who have served their nation are able to lives out their lives with dignity and respect.
The committee discussed the transition from military life to civilian life, which includes helping them find good-paying jobs, quality housing, mental health care services and the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act (H.R. 299), a bill that would expand benefits for service members exposed to Agent Orange during the war.
