WHEREAS: There are mental, emotional, spiritual challenges facing veterans and families, before, during and after deployment; and
WHEREAS: Veterans, veterans groups, and many cocerned citizens, over time, have aggressively contacted the legislators to pass favorable veterans bills in appreciation for service to their country, and the Veterans Admiistration to carry out their mission to serve these veterans in time of need; and
Whereas: Veterans have received mixed and sometimes flawed services, and some have "fallen though the cracks"
THEREFOR BE IT REOLVED That Mass Senior Action urge the Aministration, legislators, public officials and all citizens enjoying their freedom to create a safe, unconditional, supportative environment for veterans and families, and insure resourses are made readily available so that currently serving troops do not face the same obstacles to services as veterans in the past.
