Congressman Harry Teague receives a certificate for his work on behalf of veterans from the Coalition for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans at the organization’s annual conference in Washington, DC.
The Coalition for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans honored Congressman Harry Teague for his work on veterans issues this week. The freshman Democrat from southern New Mexico sits on the Coalition for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans.
“Congressman Teague has worked tirelessly on behalf of veterans, particularly in the areas of mental health, employment and homelessness, to ensure that when our warriors return home from war they get the care they deserve,” said Amy Fairweather, Program Director CIAV.
CIAV mentioned the energy jobs for vets bill, a bill sponsored by Teague, that passed the House.
Teague was also named “Legislator of the year” by the American Tinnitus Association.
“The leadership demonstrated by Congressman Teague in support of increasing care and research for America’s veterans with tinnitus will benefit all who suffer from this sometimes debilitating condition,” said Michael Malusevic, ATA’s Executive Director.
