To the Editor:
Devin Carney has a strong record when it comes to veterans’ affairs and, as a veteran, that means a lot to me. This past session Devin co-sponsored legislation that would allow more veterans access to public assistance should they need it. In years past, he has backed bills that would assist veterans with starting their own businesses, reduced the property tax burden on veterans and Gold Star families, and helped veterans affected by PTSD and brain injuries. Devin understands that we must support our servicemen and servicewomen when they return – and that includes as they age. He has always been supportive of our local VFW and has always been there to honor our local veterans – including this past February when he and the Lt. Governor recognized those who served in Korea and Vietnam. He will continue to be a strong advocate for us and I look forward to supporting him for re election on November 3rd.
Sincerely,
Ed Shyloski,
Old Lyme.
