Washington D.C. – Congressman Dan Lungren (R-Gold River-CA) signed on to co-sponsor a bipartisan initiative to help underserved, homeless veterans.
The resolution, introduced on Monday by Congressman Jeff Denham (R-CA), would establish a National Underserved Veterans Awareness Week November 6-12. The week would consist of ceremonies, activities and volunteer services to bring awareness and care to veterans and promote education on the available resources offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The National Underserved Veterans Awareness Week would include Veterans Day, which was originally established as Armistice Day in memorial of the Allied victory in World War I on November 11, 1918. “I am committed to the obligation we have to the men and women who have put their lives on the line for our nation,” said Lungren. “This resolution not only honors and recognizes the contributions that all veterans have made to protect and defend our way of life, but will also help provide information and resources needed for those who are facing physical, psychological and financial challenges.”
