At a hearing Wednesday morning held by the Committee of Veterans' Affairs, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA.) introduced three bills aimed at bolstering the Department of Veteran's Affairs' ability to successfully care for U.S. servicemen and women.

The three bills include: The Homeless Woman Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Act of 2009, The Prisoner War of Benefits Act of 2009, and The Chiropractic Care Available to All Veterans Act of 2009.

"My bills...share a common thread. Each of them would give the VA better tools to provide our veterans with the care and benefits that they have earned through their selfless service to our nation," said Murray.

Murray said she hopes that the committee will support her bills so that veterans can have the high level care that they are entitled to.
