“As a co-sponsor of the Stolen Valor Act and a Gulf War veteran, I believe faking military service or heroism is appalling and applauded President Bush’s signing the bill into law last year. Electronic records are essential throughout the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs systems to ensure the seamless transition of veterans from the service into the VA; and electronic DD 214s would be helpful on many levels, in particular the prosecution of those who would steal the mantle of uniformed honor."
REP. STEVE BUYERS, R-IND, Ranking Veterans Affairs Committee member


The above quote from Congressman Buyers' Office was provided to Marine Corps Times in September 2007. We are hoping Mr. Buyers will be signing on as a co-sponsor VERY SOON now that we have a BILL. 
As Ranking Member of the Veterans Affairs Committee, his support could be MOST helpful.

TARGETED POTENTIAL CO-SPONSORS

EVERY Member of Congress is "Targeted" as a potential Co-Sponsor for HR 3769. We urge EVERY person, no matter in what Congressional District they live, to contact their Representative as URGE them to sign on as a Co-Sponsor. In addition to getting your own member of Congress behind this, we have placed PRIORITY on certain Members of Congress whose Co-Sponsorship and support of HR 3769 could be ESPECIALLY HELPFUL.

Representative Susan Davis (D/CA)
