Open letter from Georgia Veterans
Michael with one of America's heroes
What veterans are saying
What you should know
Veterans' TV Ad

I believe that Georgia veterans deserve the medical benefits they earned for years of service to this country…

I will fight to stop the assault that Paul Coverdell and the United States Congress have mounted on veterans' medical benefits in order to pay for other programs, and will work to restore the funds that have been plundered.

-- Michael Coles
