There is no greater call to service than that of our brave men and women who serve our country in combat across the globe.

The brave men and women who have served - and those who continue to serve - our armed forces have selflessly sacrificed for our nation, and we owe it to them to provide the best services and protections available when they're overseas and after they return home.

For many of the brave men and women who have fought on the front lines, returning home means trying to navigate a complicated and bureaucratic Veterans Administration benefits system.

New Mexico is full of brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to service.

While I never served in uniform, I fully understand the great service and sacrifice that our brave men and women have given to our country.

Through the centuries, over 1.2 million brave men and women have given their lives for our nation.
