LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON HONOR OUR VETERANS DAY OF ACTION

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Our country makes a sacred promise: when you put your life on the line and defend our nation, we will ensure that you are taken care of when you come home. Donald Trump and House Republicans have broken that bond. They have launched an all-out assault on our veterans and the American way of life. Since January, Donald Trump has illegally fired tens of thousands of veterans from the federal workforce, has hurt the VA healthcare system and is making it harder for veterans to get the care and benefits they have earned. House Democrats will not tolerate this betrayal of our heroes. We will continue to fight to make sure that every veteran in this country is treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
