VetsFirst believes that VBA must have the resources necessary to meet the current challenges, but the VA claims process and substantive regulations and adjudicative principles must also be reformed.

Department of Veterans Affairs has decided to assist ailing Vietnam veterans by extending presumptive service connection for veterans that were exposed to Agent Orange. Vet Centers help vets find their way home. OIF, OEF and Vietnam veterans share their perspectives on care. Some veterans have feelings of guilt when it comes to applying for or receiving veterans benefits. There should be no guilt or shame in pursuing or receiving earned benefits. Gen. Eric Shinseki is President-elect Obama’s choice to run the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. If confirmed, he will be facing a host of issues that include a backlog of disability benefits, implementing the new GI bill, and building Obama’s “21st century VA that will better serve all who have answered our nation’s call.” Retired General Eric Shinseki is likely to get the Obama nod for Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Shinseki is a highly decorated veteran who was wounded while serving in Vietnam. It is often difficult for us to render into words the gratitude and pride that we feel toward our Veterans. Here are several writings from VetsFirst donors that express what we all feel. Show your love of country and fly our flag. It is an act of patriotism that shows the world that we are a people who are unified in spirit and commitment. VetsFirst offers a free brochure on “How To Display Our Flag”. VetsFirst launches Ask VetsFirst to increase outreach to veterans and returning warriors who require assistance in obtaining their benefits. Veterans and not in uniform active-duty service members can now render a military-style hand salute during the playing of the national anthem. |
