This month in San Diego, Veterans, community leaders, and advocates came together for an important and timely discussion on California Senate Bill 694. I want to commend California Veterans United for convening this forum and creating space for Veterans to share their lived experiences navigating the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability claims process.
