Jason Church, retired Army captain and Purple Heart recipient who lost both of his legs during his tour in Afghanistan, says VOA broadcasting was vital for American interests in the region, even when it wasn’t broadcasting good news about the U.S. #SaveVOA

The national VFW has formally come out against the Take Care of America's Veterans Act as written, and so have I. Pass the Major Richard Star Act. Don't fund it by cutting other disabled vets' tinnitus and sleep apnea benefits. As @VFWHQ says: a grateful nation pays its debts; it doesn't send veterans the invoice.

I'm a combat-wounded veteran the Major Richard Star Act is written to help and I stand with the national @VFWHQ against paying for it by cutting other disabled vets' benefits. Pass the Star Act. Drop the offset. A grateful nation pays its debts; it doesn't send veterans the invoice.

The Major Richard Star Act ends a rule that docks the earned retirement pay of 50,000+ combat-wounded vets — Pentagon-backed, with every VSO behind it, at ~$1.2B/yr. The VFW: not double-dipping, double sacrifice. There's a path. Let's take it. In today's @journalsentinel.

Grateful to @SaveVOANow for the work. The case for the Voice of America isn't nostalgia; it's a present-tense fight for what America is for.

The Senate blocked the Major Richard Star Act again today. But the Pentagon supports it — Secretary Pete Hegseth backs it — and the responsible place to cover the cost is the Defense budget, not wounded veterans. About $1B a year, for a fix the military itself wants. So what's the holdup? 50,000 of us are still waiting.

[Jason Church @JasonChurch]

I lost both legs in Afghanistan. I later worked for Sen. Ron Johnson. Today I'm asking him, and Wisconsin, to help pass the Major Richard Star Act for 50,000+ combat-wounded vets. 79 senators, every veterans group, and the Pentagon back it. My column: https://t.co/EhpzBEz01K

🇺🇸 Truth.

.@SECWAR “It was men like you—it was soldiers like all of you—who, despite the odds and despite the nature of the enemy, said…

‘Send me.’

And you said, ‘Send me,’ when you raised your right hand… you stand on the shoulders of those who went before you.”

@MaggieG603 Congrats.

37 years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party answered students asking for freedom with tanks.
The Voice of America was among the few outlets that broadcast the truth into China that night. Most of those services are silent today.
The Party still fears the truth. We should not be walking away from it.

[Jason Church @JasonChurch]

Heartbroken to learn of Steve Janke's passing. He was a Marine, dairy farmer, and tireless advocate for veterans in Wisconsin. As a fellow vet, I'm grateful for his guidance in navigating the WDVA and beyond. I'll miss him, his humor, and his always-open ear.

Well, whenever Israel or the U.S. ceases, Iran’s terrorists continue to fire - killing troops. So yeah, we’ll see.

The Appropriations Clause doesn't run on the honor system. Congress, not the executive, decides how federal money is spent. Watch the court filings.

[Jason Church @JasonChurch]

DOJ now says it "plans to drop" the $1.776B "Anti-Weaponization Fund." That's a public statement — not a court filing.
As a lawyer: "plans to" isn't "did." It's the loan-shark move — back off when scrutiny arrives, then come back quieter when the heat fades.

[Jason Church @JasonChurch]

No formal rescission. No motion to dismiss on the record. No closed claims process. No $1.776B returned to the Judgment Fund. Until then, this is a tactical retreat — not a surrender.

[Jason Church @JasonChurch]

Thanks for the amplification, @SaveVOANow. Restoration and reform, with the editorial firewall actually enforced. That's the argument, and the post-Maduro window in the Americas won't stay open long.

[savevoa @savevoanow]

By weakening VOA and related networks, the U.S. is "giving up its unique advantage—credibility—at a pivotal moment for influence in the hemisphere, when these assets are most needed and cannot be replaced by Beijing." By combat veteran @JasonChurch
