The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)

 strongly opposes the Take Care of America's 

Veterans Act as currently drafted because it asks future

disabled veterans to bear the cost of expanding benefits.

The VFW has always maintained that veterans' benefits 

are an earned obligation of the nation, a promise made

through the military service contract, and should not be

financed through offsets, fee increases, or reductions 

that place additional burdens on veterans, military 

families, and survivors.

A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans -

it does not send them the invoice.

 

-VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore
