As a 73-year-old from PW, I am saddened by the fact that so many veterans are suffering from PTSD and not receiving the proper care they deserve. This bill will provide much-needed support and resources to help those who have bravely served our country. It is crucial that we prioritize the mental health and well-being of our veterans, and this legislation is a step in the right direction. I hope to see positive changes as a result of this important act.
