Steve Invited by White House for Signing of the VA Mission Act
“Four years ago, our entire Nation was shocked and outraged by stories of the VA system plagued by neglect, abuse, fraud, and mistreatment of our veterans,” President Trump said. “With us today are many brave veterans who endured that grave injustice, including Steve Cooper and Laura Vela. They served their country with honor, only to be denied the medical treatment they desperately needed. To Steve and Laura: No one should suffer what you suffered.”
