What an amazing milestone!

07/24/2026

"The TCAVA is the only path forward for the Maj. Richard Star Act"-House Vet Affairs (GOP). FALSE.

Pathway #1: National Defense Authorization Act (estimated at $1.1 Trillion). Military retirement programs HAVE been funded by previous NDAA packages. Maj. Richard Star is no different.

Pathway #2: $95 Billion Reconciliation Bill being debated by the House this week. An amendment was proposed to use $13B to fund MRS and was voted down. WHY?

Pathway #3: The Dept. of War was appropriated $90 Billion for "discretionary spending" in last year's "Big Beautiful Bill." Sec. Hegseth has publicly supported the MRSA and can fund it within his discretion or Congress can direct him to do so.

It has never been about helping veterans and their families, it's ALWAYS been about the PAY/FOR and cutting the VA disabilities. If it were not, Maj. Richard Star would already be law. Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW

🚨 Action Alert

They said they wouldn't cut veterans' benefits.

The Take Care of America's Veterans Act does exactly that.

$57 billion. 1.5 million veterans. Tinnitus. Sleep apnea. Conditions earned in combat. Stripped from future veterans to pay for other veterans' benefits.

VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore: "A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans; it does not send them the invoice."

This community has a code. We don't eat our own.
