The majority of Americans who have served in combat operations over the last two decades are Millennials. In recognition of their sacrifice, Millennial lawmakers have consistently worked to ensure veterans returning home have the right skills to build a career in peace and the right resources to successfully transition into civilian life. While the fight for our veterans is a continual one, protecting those who have sacrificed their lives to protect our nation surpasses any party ideology. In fact, it defines the ethos of post-partisanship.
