I FEEL THAT WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HIM AND HE WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEEDED FOR OUR VETERANS. I AM A WIDOW OF A VETERANS. MY HUSBAND DIED AS A RESULT OF HIS SERVICE CONNECTED DISABILITY. I KNOW I NEED HIS HELP WITH MY CLAIM. HIS NATIONALITY HAS NO BARING ON HIS ABILITY TO DO HIS JOB. HIS MERIT STANDS ON IT OWN. THANKS PRESIDENT FOR YOUR MANY BLESSINGS. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME.

BE BLESSED.
