During National Family Caregivers Month, we recognize the family members and loved ones who provide care with patience, strength, and compassion. Their support can make a lasting difference in the lives of veterans, service members, and neighbors facing illness or disability.

To every caregiver: thank you for the time, care, and commitment you give. Let’s make sure caregivers know they are valued and that support is available to them, too.

With gratitude,

A reminder that National Veterans Small Business Week is a great time to recognize the veteran entrepreneurs who strengthen our communities through their service, hard work, and ingenuity.

When you can, support veteran-owned businesses by shopping locally, spreading the word, and connecting them with opportunities to grow. Our support for those who served can continue long after their military service.

During Veterans and Military Family Month, we honor the courage and commitment of those who have served our country—and recognize the families who have stood beside them through every deployment, transition, and challenge.

Service is shared by the whole family. Let’s show our gratitude by listening to veterans, supporting military families, and remembering that our appreciation should last all year.

🇺🇸 **VETERANS' BENEFITS: A BIPARTISAN EFFORT**

For context: The effort to advance the Major Richard Star Act was led by Representatives Mark Takano and Raul Ruiz. Congresswoman Nancy Mace provided the 218th and final signature on the discharge petition, reaching the threshold needed to move toward a House floor vote.

This bipartisan legislation addresses an issue affecting certain medically retired, combat-injured veterans who cannot currently receive their full military retirement pay alongside VA disability compensation.

Reaching 218 signatures is an important step, but the bill still needs further congressional action.

Regardless of party affiliation, our mission remains the same: **advocate for our veterans and the benefits they have earned through their service and sacrifice.**

🇺🇸 *Veterans first. Always.*

We secured the 218th and final signature needed to force a House vote on the Major Richard Star Act.

Combat-injured veterans should never have to choose between the retirement pay they earned through service and the disability compensation they deserve for their injuries. Under current law, many medically retired veterans lose part of their earned retirement pay simply because they receive disability compensation.

The Major Richard Star Act ends this penalty for all veterans with combat-related disabilities, including those with fewer than 20 years of service.

Our veterans kept their promise to America. Now Congress must keep its promise to them.
