Legislative Alert
Vietnam Veterans of America
April 21, 2014
The April 10, 2014, Faces of Agent Orange Educational Briefing on Capitol Hill, sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans of America National Board of Directors, the Agent Orange/Dioxin and Other Toxic Exposures Committee, and the Government Affairs Committee was an overwhelming success. Veterans, Congressional staffers, and the families in attendance were moved by the presentation of three daughters who, along with their fathers who served in Vietnam, gave brave and heartfelt testimony on Capitol Hill about why S.1602, which VVA fully supports, needs to become law.
Please go to http://capwiz.com/vva/home/ enter your zip code and send the prepared message to your Member of Congress asking that they co-sponsor S1602 the Toxic Exposure Research and Military Family Support Act sponsored by Senator Richard Blumenthal, CT.
VVA is the only congressionally chartered national Vietnam Veterans service organization. Although we are dedicated to Vietnam-era veterans and our families, we advocate on issues of importance and relevance to veterans of all eras in accordance with our founding principle, "Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another."
