Jerry Sturgill on Homeland Security

Maintain force structure needed for security of our nation

We must assure that those who serve, and who are willing to risk everything for our country and our state, are honored and respected by proper pay and benefits for them and their families. Veterans of all ages must be equally honored and respected. Our government, and our current Senators and Representatives, seem to have forgotten about our veterans. We must address the troubled VA health care system by localizing management and decision making and by avoiding one-size-fits-all legislation that hinders the ability of local providers to truly serve our veterans.
