President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined steps to help veterans and restore trust damaged by a series of “outrageous and inexcusable” problems and scandals.“But what I want you to know … is that we’re focused on this at the highest levels,” he told delegates to the American Legion convention in Charlotte.

“We’re going to get to the bottom of these problems. We’re going to fix what’s wrong. We’re going to do right by you. We’re going to do right by your families. And that is a solemn pledge.”CO
