I recommend support and passage of this bill; returns service people need at least this much time if not more. They have a lot of issues to deal with.

One person that I know had a lot of overdue dental work that he needed to have done. I agree. When the service men return, they are often having to deal with getting adjusted to normal life.  The time off was extremely valuable. I hope that you will will support this bill.
