ALERT: 4 Million Veterans and Survivors Could Go Without Benefits

VFW LEGISLATIVE ALERT SHUTDOWN COULD HALT BENEFITS FOR VETERANS AND SURVIVORS         ROGER, We need you to take quick action. Partisan bickering and government paralysis are dealing devastating blows to America’s heroes. Failure to pass a budget has resulted in 56 closed VA regional offices and 10,000 furloughed employees, with more in sight as this drags on. More than 4 million veterans and survivors are at risk of not receiving their benefits checks on time if resolution isn't found by month's end! Tell America's leaders in no uncertain terms to pass a budget NOW. Click here to send a direct message. William A. Thien, VFW Commander-in-Chief, expressed his outrage at the current situation. “This is totally unacceptable and disgraceful that our elected leaders in Washington would allow this to happen. We need leadership, not more rhetoric, and if the government is unable to take care of veterans, then the government should quit creating us.” Email your legislators.
