We as Americans are indebted to those who have chosen to serve in the armed forces. It has been my honor to consistently stand by America's veterans. I believe that our country is at its best when it recognizes the service of those who put themselves in harm's way.

In May of 2008, I put forward a motion to ensure that our nation's veterans receive preference for federal housing assistance.

"The least we can do is give those who have served our nation the highest priority in receiving housing assistance," 

For my efforts, I have received a 100% rating for my voting record in the 110th Congress from the Disabled American Veterans.

"John Shadegg fights for our troops and veterans."
