WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs – recently led a committee hearing with witnesses from the George W. Bush Institute, Combined Arms, D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, Student Veterans of America, Hiring Our Heroes at U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and Yale University to discuss how veterans can best achieve sustained success after their time of service to the nation.

“Each veteran is a significant asset to our country, hugely important to their families and the communities in which they live and ultimately, to the nation,” said Sen. Moran. “They demonstrated that in their service. What has arisen over a period of time in our country is often other veterans, but certainly other citizens, who rise to the occasion to make certain that veterans’ needs are being met. I want to thank those that are doing that every day, including individuals and organizations in Kansas and across the country.”

The hearing comes after the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs heard from veterans, veteran advocates, the VA Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office last Wednesday on how best to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability benefits system and ways the VA can prioritize supporting fulfilling lives for veterans after their time of service.
