The Major Richard Star Act, #hr1282 & #s344 will fix the unjust Federal law that prevents wounded combat veterans from receiving their earned retirements. Please help us grow this channel so the lawmakers in Washington D.C. know this Act can’t be ignored. #majorrichardstaract #veteranshelpingveterans #concurrentreceipt #veteransbenefits @realDonaldTrump@JDVance@DOGE
I proudly signed the discharge petition for the Major Richard Star Act.
Right now, thousands of combat veterans are being robbed of their full retirement and disability pay. This critical legislation would correct this injustice and give our veterans their EARNED benefits.
.@RepGusBilirakis, you recently stated:
“I’m working tirelessly with leaders in the House and Senate to advance my #MajorRichardStarAct in the coming weeks.”
No one has done more to champion this legislation since introducing it in 2020.
H.Res. 1247 now provides a direct path to a House floor vote, and the discharge petition is within striking distance of success.
The 59,000 combat-injured veterans affected by this offset are looking to the bill’s original sponsor for leadership.
Will you add your signature and help turn years of advocacy into a House floor vote?
Congress voted $924.7 BILLION for defense the day after blocking pay for combat-wounded veterans. $9.75 billion over 10 years — that is all H.R. 2102 costs. Your rep may have already co-sponsored it. Call them. Make them sign H.Res. 1247 and force the floor vote. Thread 👇
I saw this repeatedly sitting on the PEB for the AF at Randolph. This must be fixed. It’s long overdue. These bastards in Congress have given trillions of dollars to foreigners and REFUSE to take care of our veterans.
Congress is and has been a crime scene for over 100 yrs and most of them should be in prison.

@DonJBacon@TeeeRoy1 Thanks Don, Im sure you understand why we are hesitant about that approach. Hopefully nothing in it changes and it passes clean. I won't be holding my breath and am willing to have you prove me wrong. Thank you for your help!
DAV National Legislative Director Jon Retzer delivered remarks today at a press conference in support of the Major Richard Star Act. Take action now to support this legislation: https://t.co/ewEHR3N6CM
@DonJBacon@TeeeRoy1 You can do both Don. Sign the discharge and dont water anything down with your better option. The only option is to give the 54,000+ vets what they earned. Not any less. Not anything more. Your better option most certainly means less. Just sign the discharge and pass this bill
Today, @WWP warrior Neil Duncan shared his story and spoke about what passage of the Major Richard Star Act would mean for him and thousands of other combat-injured veterans.
Neil’s story is a powerful reminder of why this legislation matters and why veterans should receive the full benefits they earned through their service.
We thank @RepMarkTakano, @RepRaulRuizMD, @RepChrisPappas, and advocates for helping amplify veterans’ voices and the need to pass the #MajorRichardStarAct.
STAR ACT SUPPORT: MOAA joined members of Congress and fellow veteran service organizations on Capitol Hill today to advocate for the Major Richard Star Act, which would correct an injustice against our combat-wounded warriors. “These veterans deserve action. No more words, no more delays. We’re calling upon lawmakers to move this bill through Congress this session,” said Jen Goodale, Marine veteran and MOAA’s government relations director of veteran and retired affairs.

60 House veterans have not yet signed the H.Res. 1247 discharge petition.
Each has already sworn an oath.
Each understands sacrifice.
Each knows what service costs.
The question is simple:
Who do they stand with?
The 54,000 combat-injured veterans?
Or continued inaction?
#MajorRichardStarAct
This isn’t about politics.
It’s about whether Congress will keep its promise to 54,000 combat-injured veterans.
The support exists.
The path exists.
Now comes the leadership.
Leaders lead by example.
Sign the H.Res. 1247 discharge petition today.
