Creigh Deeds believes that we must honor our veterans with action and not just words. That’s why he has been standing up for our veterans for 18 years in the legislature. We can never repay our service men and women for their sacrifices, but we can honor them with the quality health care and benefits they have earned.
As Governor, Creigh will fight for veterans by:
Cutting red-tape: After fighting our wars abroad, the last thing we should do is force our veterans to fight bureaucracy here at home. It’s unacceptable that veterans must wait one year on average for their benefit claim to be processed. As Governor, Creigh will streamline the process by funding TurboVet, an online filing system, so that our service men and women can receive the benefits they have earned.
Health care for veterans: As Governor, Creigh will work with President Obama and the entire Virginia congressional delegation to fight for quality health care for our veterans. He will also support Virginia’s Wounded Warrior program to provide treatment for veterans suffering from post traumatic stress
Supporting our military families: An entire family sacrifices when a loved one is deployed. The Military Families Relief Fund helps the families of deployed Guardsmen and Reservists make ends meet. Creigh will fight to make these disbursements tax-free to help offset the financial burden on our military families.
Tax relief for disabled veterans: Earlier this year, Creigh supported legislation to provide tax relief for disabled veterans across Virginia. As Governor, he will fight to ensure that this becomes law.
