Keeping the Promise To Our Troops
As a leading voice calling for an end to the tragic and costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Louise is committed to making sure our returning heroes are treated as such when they return home from combat.
Louise was a leader in the fight to make sure those protecting us were protected themselves. With our sons and daughters deployed overseas, Louiseās tireless efforts ensured that the Army reformed its practice of outsourcing body armor inspection, and made sure that our troops have the best protection in combat.
Now that many of the brave men and women of the armed forces are returning home, we have an obligation to return the sense of security they provided us while on the battlefield.
Louise knows how important it is to help our returning heroes find jobs and have access to medical care, including mental health care. Louise has co-sponsored major legislation that would ensure our veterans get the care they deserve -- not a bureaucratic run-around -- from the VA and other health agencies.
