VFW National HQ

The nation's leading military and veteran advocate!

[VFW National HQ @VFWHQ]

“It is an insult to America's veterans that Congress would advance legislation threatening their earned benefits on Veterans Day, the very day our nation is supposed to honor their service and sacrifice … Playing political games with veterans’ benefits while avoiding public accountability is cowardly and dishonorable.” - VFW National Commander Cory Geisler https://t.co/nWd6MpRaEk #VFW #HonorTheContract #VeteransBenefits #TCAVA #VeteransDay

[VFW National HQ @VFWHQ]

It may be Veterans Day, yet Congress is considering a bill that would cut veterans' disability benefits, setting the stage for future, deeper cuts. The VFW needs you to make your voice heard.

📞 Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 and ask to speak with your elected member of the House.

Tell them: No to benefit cuts. NO to TCAVA.

We proudly salute every American who has worn our nation’s uniform, in war and in peace, at home and abroad, with gratitude, respect and humble thanks. Happy Veterans Day. https://t.co/sNdGLnJCav

The VFW supports helping veterans. But not by taking earned benefits away from another generation. You don't protect one group of veterans by taking earned benefits away from another.

Ahead of Veterans Day, VFW National Headquarters gathered to honor those who have served, reflect on the VFW’s role in shaping the holiday and recognize the families who stand behind them.

To every veteran: You are seen, and you are appreciated. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

If you don’t already know, now you know: VFW advocates are in Washington, D.C.!

How can you help? Add your name to the petition and send your message so we can show Congress how many Americans stand with our nation’s veterans.

Our position is clear: Congress must vote NO on TCAVA because it includes significant unprecedented cuts to VA disability compensation, and vote YES to pass the stand-alone, CLEAN Major Richard Star Act.

ICYMI VFW along with fellow veteran-serving organizations, members of Congress, families and supporters joined together to call on Congress to vote NO on TCAVA and to pass the CLEAN, stand-alone Major Richard Star Act.

Cutting veterans’ benefits is a choice, not a requirement. ⁠

Join the VFW National Headquarters at the House Triangle today at 130pm and sign the petition that we will NOT negotiate away the benefits of current military members and veterans. NO on TCAVA, YES on MRSA. Both are expected to be brought to the floor for a vote this week.
