Strong Supports Emergency VA Supplemental Spending, Ensuring Veterans’ Benefits

WASHINGTON — Congressman Dale W. Strong released the following statement after a supplemental spending bill to rectify Department of Veterans Affairs shortfalls was signed into law: 

“Our nation made a promise to American veterans that we will take care of them when they come home. Ensuring the Veterans Affairs Administration fulfills this promise is one of my top priorities. While I am working to improve the VA’s capacity for serving North Alabama overall, we had to pass this bill in the immediate term to address a critical funding shortfall. We cannot allow the VA to continue mismanaging its resources and care for veterans who made significant sacrifices to protect us all.”
