The Department of Veteran Affairs is grossly overwhelmed with all the new Veterans coming from the Post 9/11 era operations and wars. Many Veterans are in extreme hardship, and some are even homeless, while they are waiting for the benefits they have earned through their honorable service. The President and Congress need to act immediately to expand the Department of Veteran Affairs to help our Veterans properly and in a timely manner. Waiting years for their benefits is not acceptable. Receiving substandard care is not acceptable. These men and women never hesitated when their country needed them, their country should not hesitate in its duty to our Veterans.
