Congress should not reduce earned disability compensation for future disabled veterans to pay for other priorities, especially when the Department of Veterans Affairs has stated that no changes are planned or imminent. Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to get connected directly to the office of any U.S. Senator or Representative and tell them to keep the promise to America’s veterans by not stripping their benefits to pay for others ➡️ https://t.co/7380TgFK3c.

@JasonShupe619 You can contact our Care Team directly and will not have to work with your local DAV chapter. https://t.co/dsNDfcku4m

When you’re caring for someone else, it can be easy to put their needs before your own. Sometimes, the plans you made for yourself change. Having someone to talk to who understands can help you recognize the signs of physical and mental burnout and help you reduce them. They can also provide you with a customized plan and resources to manage your caregiver role, benefiting you and your care receiver.

DAV Caregivers Support Specialists listen intently and ask key questions to connect you with the right resources. They not only hear you, but see you and understand you, too. To learn more, contact our team at https://t.co/KKG35boXHv.

The history of Juneteenth (also known as Freedom Day) dates back to 1865 in Texas, where the final enslaved people in America were declared free under the Emancipation Proclamation. Though its history is much older, it was declared an official federal holiday in 2021. DAV takes this holiday to reflect on the profound impact that Black veterans of the Civil War had and the sacrifices they made to make freedom a possibility for all Americans.
