An Oklahoma Veteran's Open Letter to Senator Coburn

Dear Senator Coburn,

As a veteran I find it is highly disingenuous of you to block the Clay Hunt Act because it doesn't have offset costs. As a veteran who lives in eastern Oklahoma and is a proud Oklahoman I find it despicable, dishonorable, and thoroughly against the values of everyday Oklahomans. You, sir, will be known for this for years to come. Your legacy will be one of empty values. You have misplaced the value of human life.

Throughout the years I've come to know many veterans in Eastern Oklahoma as I have spoken to them throughout the state working with the Veteran's Committee (OKDPVC) being the 2nd District's Officer on the Committee, and with the people I worked with in the Air Force. Veterans have a set of troubles the regular population does not have and because of this there must always be a challenging of the systems of protocols when it comes to the VA and how America cares for veterans. Thankfully, we have wonderful non-profits and veteran service organizations that propel the veterans to greater heights than past service members have had. These same veteran service organizations along with bipartisan support have encouraged the Clay Hunt Act.
