By Hon. Michael P. Flanagan in the Illinois Review.

The numbers of veterans in need and eligible for veterans’ benefits is at the highest level since the Vietnam Era, and growing daily.

We have a serious problem in this country when it comes to caring for our veterans when they return from war. As a veteran myself who has gone through the disability benefits process, I know this firsthand.

Former Congressman Ryan Costello in the Washington Examiner
