As a United States Air Force veteran, Don knows the challenges faced by soldiers returning to civilian life, and for military families both during and after their loved one’s deployment. Don will push to strengthen education, career training, health, and housing assistance for veterans. Don fought to secure $150,000 to support veterans suffering from PTSD/TBI because he knows the importance of being responsive to work with veterans and their families to help them access existing resources and ensure quality health care through the VA. But right now, unemployment, homelessness, and suicide rates among our nation’s veterans are unacceptably high. Don knows, as a country, we must make the process of transitioning from active duty to civilian life a positive one for our veterans.
