SC Yellow Dogs

Congressman John Spratt invited me to join him at a Circle of Friends for America Veteran’s (www.vetsvision.org) meeting during the Democartic National Convention.  It was great to hear from our SC Congressman and budget guru whole told those assembled there of the tremendous improvements made in funding for Veteran’s Health benefits.  With 1 in 5 returning Veteran’s suffering from PTSD or other wounds, it is essential the our Nation make good on its promise to those who have given so much for our freedoms.  Many of the needed psychological and medical services for Veteran’s are simply not available because of past poor and inadequate funding.  Through Congressman Spratt leadership veterans health benefits funding has been increased over 18%, funding that will deliver the needed services to our veterans.  Barak Obama and Joe Biden will fullfil that promise as President and Vice-President.  They have a solid record of support for veterans with the passage of the new GI Bill and veterans health benefits.  James Smith
