Inhofe Sponsors Disabled Veterans Bill

Senator Jim Inhofe announced today he is co-sponsoring a bill that would provide more money for disabled veterans’ housing and driving needs, and provide for annual increases tied to inflation. The bill also provides inflation protection for veterans’ burial benefits and increases education benefits for National Guard and Reserve personnel.

In addition to his support for the Veterans’ benefits Enhancement Act of 2008, Inhofe said he will offer two additional amendments. One would create a special high-end medical facility to deal with the treatment and rehabilitation of traumatic extremity injuries and amputations. The other will authorize veterans to render a military salute during the playing of the National Anthem.
