DAV is extremely disappointed in the outcome of yesterday’s Senate cloture vote on the Honoring our PACT Act, which already passed 84-14 out of the same body just last month. The 25 Senators who changed their positions since then have now effectively denied millions of veterans who were exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation and other toxic substances access to the health care and benefits they earned in service to our nation. We call on the Senate to remain in session until this important legislation is passed and sent to the White House for the president’s signature. Time is a luxury generations of veterans made ill due to toxic exposures no longer have.
DAV statement on Senate blockage of Honoring our PACT Act
DAV is an organization of veterans helping veterans.
The reasons are as individual as our members. Some join for the fellowship at our more than 1,200 local chapters. Some for the inspiring national events. Others for opportunities to serve their fellow veterans and their families. And many join to continue the fight to support the rights and benefits of all veterans. DAV understands the needs of veterans because we are veterans—1 million strong. We invite you to join our cause.
