Meeting with Senator Brown

Met with Senator Brown yesterday to get his support for several veterans issues inlcuding perserving VA medical benefits of servicemembers whose PTSD is a contributing factor of post deployment misconduct, support for addressing the long term impact of MST and the unique needs of women veterans and pursuing access and funding for alternative therapies to help combat veterans manage symptoms of PTSD.

I’m happy to report that Senator Brown is a supporter of all issues and is taking necessary action to address these issues that are critical to the veterans community. Many thanks!
