to our veterans who selflessly served in the armed
forces. During his service as your Representative,
Lee Terry has consistently voted to increase and
improve veterans’ benefits.
- Lee is proud of the fact that Congress has
increased spending per veteran by 85 percent
- from $1,317 in 1994 to $2,443 today.
- He is also supportive of Veterans’ medical
care funding, which has risen by 75 percent
since 1995.
- Lee Terry will continue to support funding
increases to keep the promises made to our soldiers,
sailors and airmen, and to help support their
families.
Congressman

- restore the promised 55 percent survivor
benefit to military widows
- reduce the claims backlog at the U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA)
- end the century-old ban on concurrent receipt
of military retired pay and VA disability compensation

needs of our nation’s veterans, and to
increase medical services and benefits for former
prisoners of war.
