Elizabeth Colbert-Busch on Homeland Security

 


Dedicate a staff person to work on behalf of veterans

We have an obligation to honor and help our veterans. The men and women who serve in our military make a special sacrifice for the nation and for our freedom and prosperity. I am humbled by their service.

South Carolina is home to 413,000 veterans with almost 70,000 receiving disability compensation or pension payments and close to 2,000 veterans receiving vocational rehabilitation. Many of them are here in the 1st District.

If elected, I will dedicate a staff person in my office to work on behalf of veterans in the 1st District and the entire nation, and I will recruit a veteran to that position. I will commit as much of my time and effort as it takes to get results for our veterans. Now that combat operations in Iraq are over and our mission in Afghanistan is nearly complete, our commitment to these men and women does not end when they return home.
