The fight isn’t over, IAVA remains firmly opposed to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. Veterans shouldn't have to lose something they’ve earned so another veteran can receive something they’ve earned. We’ll keep fighting for every generation of veteran #IAVA

Yesterday, I was honored to accept the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) Leadership in Government Award. I spoke about the work I’m doing to protect benefits and care at the VA, uplift the stories of our women vets, and ensure veterans remain at the center of every decision made at the VA.

Combat-injured veterans shouldn’t lose retirement pay because they were wounded in war. The Major Richard Star Act would end the “wounded veteran tax” for 54,000+ medically retired veterans. Urge Congress to act: staractalliance.org/action.
