12 Reasons To Support John Boozman - Reason #8

Born the son of a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, John learned, from a very early age, the sacrifices made by our soldiers and their families.  John understands that our veterans deserve the very best healthcare because they’ve earned it.  He recognizes, as George Washington did, that our ability to maintain a strong military and attract talented, new soldiers depends largely on how we treat our troops when they come home, and he believes that our government must honor its commitment to those who risk their lives to keep us free. 

As a member of the Committee on Veteran’s Affairs, Congressman Boozman has consistently fought to enhance the quality of life for our veterans through homeless veterans reintegration legislation; disabled veterans assisted living technology funds; VA budget and transparency reform; veterans’ scholarship assistance; veterans retraining support; and rural, women, and disabled veterans support programs. Moreover, John played an integral role in the passage of the Post 9/11 GI Benefit-the largest single increase in veterans’ education benefits since World War II. 

Throughout his tenure in Congress, John has fought hard to depoliticize military and veterans legislation because he doesn’t think we should be playing politics with American soldiers, especially when they are actively serving in the field. 

He opposes all efforts, from both Republicans and Democrats, to insert non-military related Amendments into troop funding legislation. He has fought to protect the integrity of troop funding to ensure that our soldiers get the weapons, armor, equipment, and services they rightfully deserve in a timely manner.  

Despite the games that some like to play come Election Day, John believes the military shouldn’t be made a political football. As Senator, John Boozman will continue his support for our troops.   He fully understands that we can’t turn our backs on those who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms, and he is committed to keeping his promise.
