I’m sure the gun laws that the democrats are introducing would have prevented this theft.

So sorry to hear about something like that. The disrespect it’s in this country today the pond taking down history destroying history. I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life. I used to live in Mississippi. They took down soldiers and statues in New Orleans from the black lives matter. Don’t understand. We don’t be stuck. We don’t tear down history. We had to it and rebuild and protected following soldiers. We honor and love doing disrespect. When is this going to stop understand?

I hoope they reported the thefts to https://tacom.army.mil/ilsc/donations/rifles since the rifles belong to the United States Army. Such a shame to lose them that way. The country has really gone down hill, sad…..

All weapons should be kept in a high quality gun safe that is anchored in some fashion to the building.

Ms. Fowler, I think you post is being misunderstood, because I think auto fill is putting in cousins, where I think you are saying claims, If that is the case, if he did file a claim, and the disabilities have been added due to the PACT Act or added since further review, you should be able to go back in for his claims. Find the nearest Veterans Affairs Office or VFW in your area and ask for a Veteran Service Officer(VSO), they should be able to help.

You forgot to mention Motion for Reconsideration–is it because this is where claims disputes got to die???

I applaud your efforts Kikki! I am a retired AF officer, my father was too and my grandfather was in WWII.
It would be nice in this forum potentially, to keep the light on for the pending 2024 “vote” to kill the CA practice of taxing our military retirement in this state. We are one of only 4, I believe, that do this to our vets. Most of our vets deployed, away from families for months at a time and had to carry a gun. They got paid less then firemen or policemen, had their bodies damaged and finally got to retirement, only to have CA tax it! I believe this is year #4 of having a fully supported, bi-lateral bill, make it to Sacramento only do be allowed to let it “die” on the floor by just not holding the final vote on it. 2023 was another such year and the bill is supposedly standing ready (so it didn’t die officially) to be voted on in 2024. I believe that the MOAA is partially tracking this finally. I think we should too. I have written about this concern to both our San Diego Congressman and Representative. Your forum could be better and more productive. With California continuing to lose people, it is easy see that this taxation of our retired military is NOT helping to keep the vets in CA.
Thanks again for what you do!
