Rep. Van Orden Speaks at VA Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity

Published | Video Starts at 01:53

While I am thankful for the Department of Veterans Affairs Employment Training Services Program to be here today, I'd like to say that I'm not extremely disappointed that The Department of Defense declined to participate in this important hearing on a program affecting those who serve our country. I am angry at them. DoD's Employer Support of the Garden Reserve Program has a vital role in protecting service members and educating employees about use of rights and making sure our men and women transition from uniform to veteran.
