Congressman Anthony Brindisi (NY-22) delivered Valentine\u2019s\nDay cards to local veterans at Sitrin Health Care in New Hartford Feb. 14,\n2019, as part of Valentines for Vets<\/a>, a program he launched to show\nappreciation for Upstate New York veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brindisi\u2019s Utica and Binghamton offices collected more than\n200 cards from individuals, families, students and schools across New York\u2019s\n22nd congressional district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was honored to spend time with Upstate New York veterans\ntoday and deliver valentines to thank them for their service and\nsacrifice,\u201d said Brindisi. \u201cOur veterans put their lives on the line\nto protect our freedoms, and it is important that we honor them all year\naround. This is just one small way to say thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving resources, services and health care for Upstate\nNew York veterans is one of Brindisi\u2019s top priorities, who serves on the House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee<\/a>; he was recently\nappointed to two subcommittees: the Subcommittee on Health and the\nSubcommittee on Economic Opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also is setting up a local Veterans\u2019 Advisory Council to\nhelp bring Upstate New York veterans\u2019 voices to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brindisi recently passed an amendment<\/a> to the Veterans\u2019\nAccess to Child Care Act to ensure rural veterans who received their care at community-based\noutpatient clinics had access to cost-free child care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
