Veterans for Stevens

Author: Patrick Kerley
Date: September 3, 2008

Today Senator Stevens outlined his past accomplishments and future goals for Alaska veterans. As the Senator said today, Alaskans need a strong voice in Washington, D.C., to ensure programs crafted to address the rest of the nation include our state. This usually comes in the way of creating solutions specific to the special challenges of administering a program in Alaska. It has meant splitting facilities between active duty service people and veterans to serve more communities. Or investing in a state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure that will allow for tele psychiatry and regular check-ins with VA staff without the leaving remote villages.

If you expect to find a series of unachievable campaign pledges in this plan, you will be disappointed. Making promises for political gain doesn’t improve the lives of Alaskans, especially those people have given so much for our country. Senator Stevens’ objectives continue to aide veterans, both young and old. They recognize the needs of a new generation of wounded warriors and work to spread the VA’s support programs to all parts of our vast state.

Become a Veteran for Stevens.
