The national vice-chairs will help the state Veterans for Bush-Cheney offices carry Governor Bush’s message ofthe need to rebuild our military and prepare our armed forces for the future and the importance of restoring support for veteransand military retirees.

Former Congressman, Sonny G. V. Montgomery, author of the Montgomery G.I. Bill, and Gen. Charles Krulak, USMC (Ret.),former Commandant of the Marine Corps, are the national co-chairs of Veterans for Bush-Cheney. "Although all members of the Veterans for Bush-Cheney Coalition are firm in their support for Governor Bush, they are equally firm in their belief in the importance of the right to vote. Active duty, Reserves, National Guard, veterans, and military retireesalike have all served this nation to guarantee that right. The Veterans for Bush-Cheney Coalition now urges all Americans to exercise that right," said General Krulak, former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 1995-1999.

“Governor Bush made clear at the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion national conventions that one of his toppriorities, if elected President, will be improving veterans benefits,” said Congressman Montgomery. “Governor Bush alsosupports obtaining the fullest possible accounting of our MIAs.

If he becomes President, he will keep his word to America's veterans and military retirees.”Governor George W. Bush has called for a top-to-bottom review of the Veterans Administration Health Care system to target and modernize areas that hinder veterans’ access to the top-notch health care they deserve.

He will also restore the “Duty to Assist”Veterans policy, requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to aid veterans in gathering evidence for their claims. He has pledged to create a Veterans Health Care Task Force comprised of officials from the Veterans Administration, Veteran Service Organizations, and VA health care providers, to ensure swift and appropriate implementation of the Veterans Millennium HealthCare Act.
