As a combat Veteran who did volunteer work at VA and who regularly supports
Veterans’ organizations, I am leery of the PACT Act.
The real “honey pot burners” are in Congress. They held back because of the $400 Billion rider, but then succumbed to the politicized fear of not being reelected to their ‘lifetime’ positions in congress.
Then American Legion gives extra credit to Jon Steward one of the most notable liberals. I appreciate all that entertainers do for Veterans, but not when it gets politicized and leads to Congressional financial irresponsibility.
Let us not forget transparency as the article states: “It is currently unclear if any significant changes to the bill were made before the House vote.”
Finally, make sure Biden gets credit for a “Whitehouse statement” by virtue of occupying office space after his disastrous “withdrawal” from Afghanistan costing 13 American soldiers lives and countless executions in Afghanistan.
Veteran’s organizations had best learn the lesson of Social Security. Supporting any and all legislation that purports to support Veterans is suspect. When congress raids the funds like they have raided Social Security, Veterans could lose a lot of much needed support. In Camaraderie, Duster
Glad to see this. I served in Vietnam on a chinook helicopter. Delivered many canisters of agent orange out to the field. Remember landing in an orange cloudy gas like substance without any protective gear and thinking if the stuff is meant for the enemy what are we doing in the middle of this. Hopefully I will be compensated for the aliments I am suffering through now.
Thank you for this article. It is wonderful to be kept up to date on the PACT act finally being approved. I served in the Navy on the USS Enterprise during Vietnam.
The Korean War began June 25, 1950 with the North Korean army’s invasion of South Korea. On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed ending the war, now officially recognized as Armistice Day. At 10 a.m. that day, in Panmunjom, 18 official copies of the tri-language Korean Armistice Agreement were signed. The signing of the agreement marked the end of the longest negotiated armistice in history with 158 meetings spread over two years and 17 days.

The Vets from the (forgotten war) are still being treated like second class citizens. Treatments go unresolved. The VA is giving them a pill and send them packing.

Has there been an update to the two proposed bills?

Nice article but it doesn’t state the date on which to celebrate the Korean armistice. However, assume that it is celebrated on July 27th.
