All 4 Bills are excellent…Do any of them, especially Rep. Bost (R-ILL) Bill,
provide for erasing the “must file an appeal within one year of claim” nonsense. And also allow a Veteran to appeal a Pact Act claim from 2023, disagreeing with the effective date but not disagreeing with the award of SC connection provided in the Rating Decision? Or, invoking evidence from claims and reports existing in an entire C-File that support a new claim or NOD?

How do I get the Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pins for myself (US Army) and my brother (US Navy) that served 1968-1974.

Thank you,

I live at a senior Veteran apartment building in Long Beach. A new building next door, the “Cove at Century Villages at Cabrillo” isn’t full. 89 units BUT 16 units are for non-Veteran homeless. No 24 hour services for them. They’re noisy, hungry, needy. They were set-up to fail. The Cove is NOT suitable for a Veteran with PTSD or fragile. Tragic.

Is there accountability for the VSSR program which received nearly $4 million? I’m a 73 year old Air Force Veteran residing at the Plaza in Long Beach CA. The Plaza is primarily senior Veterans.
I’d like to know where the money is going.

This is simply outrageous; yet not surprising from the cruel tactics of con man Trump and his clown government . Trump belongs in jail, not good people especially veterans like Retes.

Great news especially after being retired for over 10 years.

Michael, Vietnam veteran 1969.
Is A.L. vigorously protesting the attack on VA by con man Trump, draft dodger?
Their big lie is that veterans care will not be hurt by massive personnel cuts.

Perhaps I’m confused. I have received approval to be interred into a local Veteran’s Cemetery (Igo-Ono) and my wife’s remains would be allowed to be added at the appropriate time, of course there is a fee for this. We are currently planning on interring her mother and father (WWII veteran) into the same cemetery.

I did not renew my AL membership after the AL endorsed the draft (Selective Service) for women. Bad idea. Rich bums like con man Trump evaded service to our nation, while the draft captured working class young men for Vietnam foolish war.
