Senator Obama discusses the steps he's taken to make sure veterans get the support they've earned for serving their country.

"I strongly encourage veterans who feel like the VA made a mistake in their claim to call 1-800-827-1000 or visit a special website the VA set up at Senator Durbin and my request at: www.vba.va.gov/SpecialOutreach."
