IAVA's CEO and EVP of Government Affairs Delivered a Critical Update on the Honoring Our PACT Act...

Veterans are closely watching as the Honoring Our PACT Act nears final passage. The bill provides extensive VA benefits for veterans with toxic exposures, like from burn pits. DoD has acknowledged that all who served in Iraq and Afghanistan were exposed. The bill was blocked last week from final passage by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA). It will come up again for final votes the week of July 11. See this update by Jeremy Butler and me at IAVA on the status of the bill and what it does.
