Some 50 veterans and veterans’ advocates gathered at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Danbury on Friday to share their stories with Senator Chris Murphy.  He also talked about renewed efforts to pass his "Honor Our Commitment Act".  His bill would make combat veterans with PTSD who have been dismissed from the military for misconduct eligible for mental health treatment from the VA. 

Murphy noted that the suicide rate among veterans is extremely high. 

The veterans shared their stories of service, injury and struggle to cut through the red tape at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
