This Veterans Day, CDR Jansen reminds us that honoring veterans means more than a thank-you. It means showing up, supporting one another, and continuing to serve our communities long after the uniform comes off. Read her message. #VFWCA #VFW #VeteransDay #StillServing

It may be Veterans Day, yet Congress is considering a bill that would cut veterans' disability benefits, setting the stage for future, deeper cuts. The VFW needs you to make your voice heard. 📞 Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 and ask to speak with your elected member of the House. Tell them: No to benefit cuts. NO to TCAVA. #VFW #HonorTheContract #AdvocacyInAction #TCAVA

ICYMI VFW along with fellow veteran-serving organizations, members of Congress, families and supporters joined together to call on Congress to vote NO on TCAVA and to pass the CLEAN, stand-alone Major Richard Star Act. Cutting veterans’ benefits is a choice, not a requirement. ⁠ 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=7JIUYHBW… #VFW #HonorTheContract #AdvocacyInAction #MajorRichardStarAct #TCAVA
