"Our nation should take great pride in awarding our veterans the benefits due to them from their service. Sadly, the Peltz family's encounter with the VA's bureaucratic red tape is too often the case for many of our veteran families in Upstate New York, the North Country, and across America. I'm proud to take action on behalf of the Peltz family and all our veteran families to work to cut through the bureaucracy our veterans face. I am proud to introduce this legislation to honor the legacy of World War II veteran Mr. Ernest Peltz and take one step forward in improving the effectiveness of an agency infamous for regulatory red tape."
