Summary

Coming out of Memorial Day Weekend, Americans across the country are reminded of just how many men and women have valiantly sacrificed their lives for the nation. In the eyes of Congressman Jake Ellzey (R-TX) and Congressman Don Davis (D-NC), the two veterans who co-chair the Four Country Caucus, the least we can do is ensure their families, and the veterans who return from war are taken care of. Today, Rep. Ellzey and Rep. Davis share how they've worked across the aisle on efforts to support veterans through meaningful legislation—efforts that have contributed to a record-low rate of veteran homelessness in the United States. They also discuss the encouraging increase being seen in military recruitment and how they work to put country over party on Capitol Hill.
