Serve Those Who Served Us

My fellow Americans,

It is on this day that we recognize the service and sacrifice of America's best. Sadly, Washington DC and the federal bureaucracy seem to have a different plan. In the past year, we have heard of multiple scandals regarding the healthcare of our veterans, from horrible service and treatment at the Phoenix VA in Arizona, to the discovery that thousands of veterans have died awaiting decisions on their benefits. This is unacceptable and even worse, Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton has gone on record saying that these crimes against our veterans were "blown out of proportion."

Our nation's politicians our out of touch with reality, especially when it comes to serving those who served us. We need true leadership in Washington DC that will stand up and fight for our veterans, whether it is getting Vietnam and World War II veterans the benefits they deserve, or providing our newest veterans from the Middle East with the state of art care and support they need. The VA itself provides some of the best veteran's care in its hospitals, but it is greatly hampered by bureaucratic red tape. As President and head of our federal bureaucracy, I will work to streamline the VA and cut the number of people waiting for benefit decisions by half. Please thank a veteran today and let's appreciate those who served. Join me next year as we launch a revolution to bring service and dignity back to our government.
