Wilson: Standing with Our Nation’s Veterans, Reserve, and Guard Members
October 3, 2013
Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement after the House passed two different pieces of legislation that appropriate funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and our Guard and Reserve units.
"Today, a bipartisan group in the House passed a common-sense measure to stand with our nation's deserving veterans and dedicated Reserve and Guard members. We should all agree that funding for these necessary programs and service members should not be up for discussion.
"Unfortunately, President Obama has already threatened to veto these bills, which will deny our service members and veterans of crucial services and resources they have earned. For the sake of our brave men and women who have and are serving in uniform, I am hopeful that the legislative process will see itself through, and these bills will become law," Congressman Joe Wilson said.
