Supporting veterans and military families was a priority from "summary" of A Promised Land by Barack Obama
When I took office, supporting veterans and military families was a priority. These men and women had put their lives on the line for our country, and the least we could do was ensure they received the care and support they deserved. That's why we worked to increase funding for veterans' health care and improve the services they received. We also made it a priority to reduce the backlog of disability claims, so veterans didn't have to wait months or even years to get the benefits they had earned.
In addition to providing better care for veterans, we also focused on supporting their families. Military families make sacrifices too, often having to move frequently and deal with the stress of having a loved one deployed. We worked to provide more support for these families, including access to mental health services and resources to help them navigate the challenges of military life.
One of the initiatives we launched was Joining Forces, a program that aimed to connect military families with the support and resources they needed. Through Joining Forces, we were able to bring together businesses, non-profits, and government agencies to help military families find employment, access educational opportunities, and receive the support they needed to thrive.
Supporting veterans and military families wasn't just a policy goal for me – it was personal. I had seen firsthand the sacrifices these men and women make, and I was committed to ensuring they received the support they needed. Through our efforts, we were able to make a real difference in the lives of veterans and military families across the country. And while there is always more work to be done, I was proud of the progress we made during my time in office.
