🇺🇸 Stand with our combat-injured veterans! 🇺🇸
Did you know that tens of thousands of our nation’s heroes are currently facing a "Wounded Veteran Tax"?

Right now, under federal law, service members who are forced into early medical retirement due to combat injuries are forced to give up a dollar-for-dollar portion of their military retirement pay just to receive their VA disability benefits. They earned both, but a statutory offset prevents them from receiving both simultaneously.

The Major Richard Star Act aims to fix this.
Named in honor of Major Richard A. Star—a decorated U.S. Army Combat Engineer who medically retired due to combat injuries—this bipartisan bill would eliminate the offset. It ensures that roughly 54,000 veterans whose careers were cut short by combat wounds can receive both their hard-earned retirement pay and their VA compensation.

It’s time to support the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
Let’s get this across the finish line! 🎖️👇

Behind every number is a life.
A family.
A story.

Too many were suffering in silence.
Too many families were left carrying that silence alone.

💚 Their service mattered.
💚 Their lives mattered.
💚 Their legacy lives on.

DAV is extremely disappointed and alarmed by VA’s decision to issue an Interim Final Rule today that could potentially reduce disability compensation for millions of disabled veterans.
