Veteran health care is not a favor, it's a promise that Washington has broken countless times. That’s why @PeteButtigieg’s plan honors that promise and our service members: https://t.co/qY2qB9pBkQ pic.twitter.com/Sg0zoe9s1U

The women and men of our armed forces enlisted out of duty to the country. Washington should show that same duty to them and their families after the return home: https://t.co/qY2qB980ti pic.twitter.com/C0NtugzREE

PFA TWEETS

Under today’s proposal, Pete Buttigieg would ensure women’s reproductive health access and access to contraceptives for women in the military, and would reverse bans on trans and HIV+ service members. It would also reinstate the MAVNI program & stop deportation of servicemembers.

Just got an email alert that another Dem candidate for President just released their veterans policy proposals. This line from @PeteButtigieg’s intro stands out. I’m glad to see vets not just running for office — but being honest about struggles...https://t.co/49sRM36icf pic.twitter.com/5cRKBpoaNK
