It’s unfortunate that some people only read misleading headlines and phony drivel from partisan hacks. House Republicans have already encouraged the VA to be more welcoming and have included such provisions in other bills. Republican opposition to changing the motto on VA facilities is because they do not wish to change the words of Lincoln’s speech, which are the words quoted on VA facilities. Why would anyone want to change the the words of Abe Lincoln to something he never said? Not changing Abe’s speech doesn’t change the services provided by the VA to ALL veterans. Get a grip for Pete’s sake.
It seems that Republicans don’t like the ladies. Even and especially those who serve it seems. Maybe, those ladies will have their day at the ballot box soon .
House Republicans Block Inclusion of Women Veterans in New VA Mooto. This article and the others mentioned, highlight the issues that divide this nation, political parties and even The American Legion. I presume reading some of the articles of the same topic in other sections of the country might suggest different outcomes; differences I wouldn’t have seen a decade or two ago.
We 65+ Vets already know all these “needs” you wrote about I was hoping to actually read something–anything–that”s naming someone/some place to contact to actually get such help, but NO. I can’t even get the San Diego VA to give me a ride to the hospital (I have no other way to get there) to meet with the Neurological Dept. re my recent stroke because I only have a 10% rating, which apparently, appears to have nothing to do with the stroke.
The boy scouts of America were on local Abc7 and on Abc Network News thats good. The bad part is that at the end they unrolled the flag displaying the stars to the right. However flag protocol calls for the stars to be on the left
Alot of good information on this blog, thanks!
Congrats to Post 291!

Once again the republicans consider women second class citizens.
