Contact your Congressman!

‼️ Action Alert‼️

Congress is considering legislation that would expand some veterans' programs by changing disability ratings for tinnitus and obstructive sleep apnea.

According to VA estimates, those changes could affect up to 1.5 million veterans and reduce disability compensation by approximately $57 billion over the next 10 years.

Veterans should not pay for veterans' benefits.

Take action today and tell Congress to Honor the Contract and protect earned disability compensation: https://votervoice.net/VFW/Campaigns/138035/Respond

A gem was re-found over at the Sunnyland park. Prior to the construction of the freeway, a tree was planted for every service member of Whatcom County who died during WWI. Although William Matthews original tree is gone, his dedicated marker still exists under an American Elm tree.
