We
are proud to have Gowen Field located in Idaho 's District 18. Senator
Kelly believes that we owe a debt of gratitude to our service members
and their families. Thousands of Idahoans have served deployments
– and re-deployments – in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. Many
veterans rebound successfully from their war experiences. For others,
however, combat can impose long-lasting, chronic challenges. In
addition, military service can impose financial and emotional hardship
on service members and their families.
During
her first two terms in office, Senator Kelly

medical benefits from the state at the start of their deployment
