Too often, however, this has not been the case. As a veteran myself, this is simply unacceptable and needs to be immediately corrected. This will ensure that the special needs of our nation's veterans will be addressed. So many men and women have served America with valor and distinction and the very least our government can do is let America's heroes know what programs are out there to assist them. Know Act is all about.
Some statistics serve to show just how many veterans are out there.
There are 48,440 veterans living in the 21 municipalities of New Jersey's Eighth Congressional District and the Garden State has total of 740,660 veterans. According to the VA, the current national population of veterans is estimated at 25.6 million. And many folks probably don't realize that 80 of every 100 living veterans served during defined periods of armed hostilities. The Veterans' Right to Know Act is strongly backed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans, the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, and the American Legion. This is not about doing veterans any favors.
