VCS on the National Stage Providing Advocacy

VCS on the National Stage Providing Advocacy

Your support goes a long way in making sure the voices of veterans are heard throughout America.

Here are three outstanding examples of how VCS helps lead the charge to inform Congress and the public about the urgent needs and concerns of our veterans, especially delays in receiving benefits from the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA).

On Friday, April 9, VCS appeared on KPBS in San Diego, California, as they covered our VCS press conference about fixing VBA with Representative Bob Filner, the Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee.

On Saturday, April 10, VCS was quoted in The Washington Post in an article about Gulf War illness research.
Then on Sunday, April 11, VCS was quoted in a Chicago Tribune investigation describing how badly broken VBA has become.

Please share these important news articles with your friends and let them know VCS fights for our veterans in Washington and in the national press.
VCS on the Cutting Edge Advocating for Our Veterans
In the next few weeks VCS plans to ask VA to expand benefits and healthcare for our Gulf War veterans based on new scientific evidence.

Veterans for Common Sense thanks you for your support that allows us to continue moving forward on behalf of our veterans!
