Senator Jon Tester has  unveiled a bill to put more veterans back to work, the Vow to Hire Heroes Act. The bill combines many popular, bipartisan ideas to put veterans back to work. Senator Tester says this is about living up to the promises that we make our fighting men and women in this country.

Tester’s plan includes tax credits for companies to hire veterans and expands education and training opportunities for veterans. Nationwide, there are nearly one million unemployed veterans. Tester expects the Senate to vote on the bill this week.
