DAV National Commander Delphine Metcalf-Foster, Army veteran, former caregiver

On behalf of DAV, our Auxiliary and our more than one million members, I applaud the 92 Senators who voted for veterans today by passing the VA MISSION Act. This groundbreaking legislation will not only support America’s unsung heroes—family caregivers—but also make a number of reforms and improvements to strengthen the VA health care system and expand access for all enrolled veterans. The House and Senate have done their job and we now look to the President to sign this historic legislation. As our nation prepares for solemn remembrances over the Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice is by ensuring that all surviving veterans and families get the benefits and care they have earned.
