We have had a couple questions come up about the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. Our VSOs have very valid points for and against. This is a decent take on where it is today with 2 very important messages-

*Make your tinnitus and sleep apnea claims ASAP.

*Talk to your legislatures, & eliminate misinformation as an excuse to table this again.

Our voices can help turn the tide.
