  • He wrote the New York State law to protect veterans and their families from protests at military burials

     

  • Lee introduced and secured a much needed law promoting and expanding opportunities for veterans access to affordable mortgages, expanding veterans’ homeownership

     

  • He championed the creation of new healthcare clinics for vets who live farther from VA facilities, and ushered into law his legislation to provide Adult Day Healthcare to veterans who are 70% or more disabled

 

  • And so much more…
