Miami, FL - While Mario Diaz-Balart has voted twice against benefits for veterans and troops, Joe Garcia understands the limited access to care that veterans have in South Florida, and has proposed a plan to expand veteran care treatment. This includes creating new clinics in Kendall, improved detection and treatment for PTSD and the creation of full-service commissaries in Homestead and Doral.

Joe Garcia issued the following statement:

"Today, I have set forth a plan that honors our nation's veterans by calling for them when they return home. By creating a much needed clinic in Kendall and full-service commissaries in Homestead and Doral, we can better serve South Florida's veterans with the benefits they have earned with their service to our country."

Amy Araya, spokesperson for the Garcia campaign said:

"It is an act of political cowardice for Mario Diaz-Balart to send our troops to war, and then vote against their benefits and medical treatment when they return home. Unlike Mario Diaz-Balart, Joe Garcia recognizes the importance, virtue and necessity of caring for our own."
