I am proud to call America Home because of our attitudes towards Veterans today. Americans love our Veterans, First Responders, and the thin blue line Police .

I volunteer to win a jackpot here in Oregon to get things started! I would also want to help veterans. My brother was in the Marines, and father the Army.

Thankful for all those that have served in the Armed Forces

I am a Veteran who served during a time of war. I don't recieve any VA benefits.

I'm glad to see that there are some people out there that still respect the sacrifices

made by our armed forces. Va benefits do not come easy. it is usually a very long

drawn out government process. maybe this bill can provide a supliment to my brothers

and sisters that aren't recieving needed compensation for the price

they paid during thier tour of duty. Good Job Oregon

I'm happy that whatever Oregon residents win from now on can get, the Veterans at that state also win.
