Contact your members of Congress today and tell them: vote NO on H.R. 9237, the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act.

They said they wouldn’t cut veterans’ benefits.

But the VFW and many other Veterans Service Organizations oppose this legislation because it would do exactly that.

H.R. 9237 would use cuts to future veterans’ disability compensation, including for conditions like tinnitus and sleep apnea, to help pay for other veterans’ benefits.
That is not how a grateful nation honors its promises.

According to the VFW, the proposal could reduce compensation by roughly $57 billion over 10 years and affect up to 1.5 million veterans.

As VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore said: “A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans; it does not send them the invoice.”

It’s a Brother and Sisterhood, it’s a community with a code: We don’t eat our own.
Call. Email. Post. Share.

Tell Congress to stand with the VFW, stand with veterans, and vote NO on H.R. 9237.

If you can't make it to Convention on Saturday, at least hit Casco Bay Lines and visit our Legion Family on Peaks Island. (Pssst....secret from the Post Commander: "When you get to casco bay lines, show your VA disability card and ask for the disability discount. You will get 50% off your passenger ticket".)
