Thanking our veterans and active military service members for their sacrifice is a necessary and simple task. We need to back up our gratitude with action. Ensuring adequate care and support for more than 60,000 veterans across Rhode Island is a task that is much more complex.
Coming from a family whose identity has been and continues to be shaped by service to our country, I understand the commitment that is required to provide veterans and their families with the support they need for things like housing, employment, medical care, education and transportation. As a state representative, I will continue to assist and advocate for the expansion of public and nonprofit support for all service members, just as I have during my time on the Town Council.
With the state-of-the-art Rhode Island Veterans Home, Bristol is the foundation for building better long-term veteran care. Our community’s vets know that I’m always listening and ready to act.
