Our issues have not done well in the House and Senate. It's solely because we don't join together on our issues. The American Heroes COLA Act is the latest bill. The hasn't gone down in defeat yet we can get it passed, but you have to get involved. You have to contact the Senators on the VA oversight committee by writing, calling, and E-mailing each of them. You also need to contact your State's Senate delegation. Push the passage of the bill and push these three amendments. A 25% disability pay raise, quality of life payments for veterans that have a service connected disability rating of 60% or more by using the disability scale making awards proportionate to the veterans disability rating, and maximum pension payments to veterans with a service connected disability rating of 100% or more and are not receiving any military retirement pay. When we don't stand together this what happens http://usuncut.com/politics/happy-veterans-day-5-times-republicans-in-congress-screwed-veterans

SOoooo, if a 20 year (straight active duty) retiree receives 10% VA Disability, then that veteran does not deserve/is not worthy to be included as part of this "American Heroes COLA Act "........? Who is getting the short end of the stick? Yet the expectation is to support a Bill that is "Not Inclusive" of All Veterans awarded VA Disability (From 10% to 100%).???? "We All Stand 100% Together Or We Fall Short".......Believe One Thing For Sure, This Is No Less Than Failure........
Also, the House and the Senate knows this as well.......Change the Bill to reflect 10% to 100% and maybe It will get some traction. Otherwise, God Bless and I Pray for All Success either way.
"Semper Fi"......
