Part 3. Exercise
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMISSION.

There is established an independent commission in the executive
branch to be known as the ''Commission on America and its Veterans''
(referred to in this Act as the ''Commission'').

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) After more than a decade of war, and much work to help
members of the Armed Forces returning home from the
battlefield, the United States needs a wider and more thorough
process for welcoming members back, taking care of their needs,
and reintegrating them into society.
(2) Many initiatives exist that provide help for the men
and women who have fought, but there are gaps in our support
for veterans that need to be addressed.
(3) The United States has waged wars, but not all are
involved in fighting those wars, and the United States needs to
be more deeply and regularly connected with members and their
experiences in war and returning from war.
(4) Veterans contribute mightily to the society of the
United States but many veterans endure ongoing psychological
trauma, challenges with employment, crime and dislocation, and
veterans' families and communities are also faced with the
after-effects of war in ways that need to be publicly
addressed.
(5) The Nation needs a whole-of-society approach to
improving the veteran's position in society, and improving how
we welcome veterans when they return, and improving veterans'
experience when they come back, and do so in a way that helps
veterans, their families, and their communities.
