The Republican proposed veterans' package is a step in the wrong direction, and as IAVA CEO Dr. Kyleanne Hunter puts it, “we should never indicate to one set of veterans that their service is worth less than any other.” Fairness for combat-injured veterans shouldn’t be stalled by partisan politics.

We couldn’t agree more with DAV: "a grateful nation should never try to balance its budget on the backs of the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom." Combat-injured veterans have pushed for the Major Richard Star Act for years. They deserve real benefits, not feigned promises.

As VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore said, “Congress should Honor the Contract and strengthen veterans' programs without creating new costs for those who sacrifice in service to our country.”
