I want to thank my colleagues, who on Veterans Day, joined me in passing the Take Care of America's Veterans Act (TCAVA).

This comprehensive legislative package aims to improve services and benefits for America's veterans and their families. It includes my legislation, H.R. 7103, the Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act, as well as more than 60 other bipartisan veterans' priorities. 

The TCAVA package seeks to strengthen veterans' health care services, expand benefits, increase support for survivors and caregivers, and improve the efficiency and accountability of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

I have received many bipartisan messages of support for the legislation, including support for directing the savings generated by streamlining many programs to instead be spent on important veterans' priorities.

The legislation was supported by the Wounded Warrior Project, American Legion, AMVETS, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), MOAA, Elizabeth Dole Foundation, and Mission Roll Call.

As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I remain committed to protecting the benefits veterans have earned through their service while advancing responsible, bipartisan reforms that improve the VA's ability to serve America's veterans, their families, and survivors. I am proud of this legislation, but our work to improve services for veterans is not done.

This fight continues.
