U.S. Senators Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Tuesday requested an investigation into a report an Army veteran committed suicide when he was awaiting care for post-traumatic-stress disorder from those at a Veterans Affairs office in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The department will work with the inspector general and the senators to determine what happened, agency spokesman Paul Sherbo said.

The senators did not identify the soldier who killed himself but said he was 26 and had served as an Army Ranger.

Gardner said he wanted to avoid a repeat of a 2014 scandal over long wait times that veterans endured to get health care, and allegations that some VA officials falsified records to cover up the problem.

Our veterans deserve the best care we have to offer them, not the treatment (or lack thereof) they have received under President Obama’s Veteran Affairs department. Click here to get involved and help Tea Party Patriots demand better for our veterans!
