Helping our Veterans
Rep. Foster often says that "we owe our veterans a debt we can never repay" because of the courage and sacrifice they have shown in defending our country. While we may never be able to fully repay our veterans for their service, we must strive to fully support them in every way possible. By introducing the National Family Relief Plan and supporting the new G.I. Bill, Rep. Foster has taken important steps in supporting those who serve.
This weekend, Rep. Foster announced he was signing on to be a co-sponsor of the Veterans Travel Equity Act, which would increase the mileage reimbursement rate for veterans to the current IRS standard. In the face of high gas prices, this would help ease the financial burden of many veterans across the country and is the least we can do for those who have done some much for us.
