There is even more but I'm now cross-eyed & really need to get some sleep. Here's the link to the bill. You can search by keyword like I just did. I'm extremely pleased to see all this funding for our amazing & deserving heroes. 🇺🇲 congress.gov/115/bills

Last thing before I pass out, I have no clue how to unroll this, so if someone would be so kind to do it is be very grateful! God Bless our #Veteran and #Patriots ❤️
