ANNOUNCEMENTS!

"Veteran Survey" Congressman Kerry Bentivolio is requesting that all veterans take a moment and complete a survey. He states, "Dear Honored Veteran, I am in dire need of your input! As a former military serviceman, caring for the men and women who have sacrificed so much for the good of our country is a task near and dear to my heart. However, without feedback from veterans like you, I can only operate on hearsay regarding the difficulties you are facing. Obtaining accurate information directly from you will allow me to introduce precisely tailored legislation that addresses the foremost challenges you are facing. If you are willing, please take a few moments to complete the survey found by clicking the link below. Your time in service to our country is greatly appreciated. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MI112014VetSurvey If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail my District Veterans Liaison, Joe Salvia, at joe.salvia@mail.house.gov..
