Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement today after supporting passage of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act for FY 2009.

"Our nation's veterans are the finest America has to offer," said Rep. Wilson. "They have earned not only our recognition and thanks but our support as well. This legislation will help ensure our veterans have access to the highest quality care. I am grateful for the sacrifice of so many military families in South Carolina and around the country. Our freedoms and our way of life would not be possible were it not for the incredible courage and dedication of our veterans."
