Thank you Congresswoman Nancy Mace

More than 100 VFW and Auxiliary members came to Washington, D.C., this week to advocate for veterans—and it paid off.⁠
⁠
Thank you to Congresswoman Nancy Mace for providing the critical 218th signature needed to advance the Major Richard Star Act, and to Congressman Mark Takano and every member who signed H.Res. 1247.⁠
⁠
This victory wasn’t won in one meeting. It was built through years of relationships, persistence, and grassroots advocacy.⁠
⁠
We’ve won another battle, but the fight continues. We won’t stop until the Major Richard Star Act becomes law.⁠

Budget rules do not force Congress to reduce future disability compensation for veterans with service-connected tinnitus or sleep apnea. That is a choice, not a requirement.

Congress created PAYGO, and Congress has changed, waived, and adjusted its budget rules when it chose to do so.

Lawmakers should not hide this choice behind a budget rule. Remove Section 108 and pass the provisions veterans need without making future disabled veterans pay for them.

Protecting existing disability ratings does not solve the problem.

Not every service-connected condition appears when someone leaves the military. Some veterans will not understand the full effects of their service for years. Others are still serving and have not become veterans yet.

Grandfathering current ratings does nothing for them. Veterans’ benefits should not depend on whether someone filed a claim before or after Congress changed the rules.

“Current veterans are protected” is not good enough. We must protect the veteran who needs us tomorrow, too. Remove Section 108.
