Welcome and thank you for visiting the official website of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.

 

America’s veterans fought to protect our freedoms and dedicated their lives to serving our country. This committee’s top priority is to make certain we take care of them. There is no group of people I hold in higher regard than those who serve our nation, and I take seriously the responsibility of providing our veterans with the best our country has to offer.

 

I have always relied on veterans to help drive policy decisions in Washington, and I will continue to look to those who have served for ideas and solutions to improve the lives of their fellow servicemembers and veterans. As Chairman, I am committed to making certain veterans have the right resources at the right time to achieve success after their service. To veterans in Kansas and millions of veterans across the country: I work to serve and honor you.

 

This website is meant to be a useful resource for critical news and information for our nation’s veterans, their families, caregivers, survivors, providers and all those who care about veterans’ issues. Your concerns or comments will assist this committee as we work to ensure that we meet the needs of our veterans and their families, so that we can honor the promises our government has made to our veterans. Please use the “Contact Us” section to share your concerns and comments with me.

 

Thank you again for your interest in the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Should you need additional information or assistance, please contact (202) 224-2074.
