Rep. Jack Bergman has continued his advocacy for veterans with spinal cord injuries by speaking on his legislation, the Veterans STAND Act, during a Joint House and Senate Veterans Affairs hearing. The legislation aims to improve access to essential technology for paralyzed veterans. Bergman engaged with Robert Thomas, the National President of Paralyzed Veterans of America, to express his gratitude for their support of the bill.
Bergman emphasized the importance of the Veterans STAND Act, stating, "We are systematically failing those Veterans paralyzed from service if they are being denied expeditious access to essential technology." He urged his colleagues to support the bill, highlighting the responsibility of Congress to ensure veterans receive the assistance they deserve.
In a success story, Bergman met with Marine Corps Veteran Brittany Elliott, who regained mobility through a robotic exoskeleton. Bergman commended Elliott for her support of the Veterans STAND Act, which aims to improve the lives of paralyzed veterans through innovative technology.
Through his efforts and advocacy, Rep. Jack Bergman continues to champion the cause of veterans with spinal cord injuries, striving to provide them with the support and resources they need for a better quality of life.
