#1 Act on the Major Richard Star Act

Some combat-injured service members were forced to leave the military early because of serious injuries. Even though they served honorably, they do not receive the full military retirement they earned.

Under current law, their military retirement pay is reduced because they also receive VA disability benefits. This means veterans injured in combat lose part of the retirement they earned through years of service simply because they were hurt while serving our country.

The Major Richard Star Act would fix this unfair treatment. But right now, the bill cannot move forward unless Congress takes the next step.

#2 Veterans Deserve Safer Treatment Options

Veterans are being prescribed powerful psychiatric medications, often several at once, without clear written information about the risks. Many were never warned about severe side effects or dangerous drug interactions. Others are left with few PTSD treatment options beyond medication, even when innovative therapies could offer real relief.

#3 Support Our Student Veterans by Cosponsoring H.R. 1965

The Post-9/11 GI Bill changed lives, helping millions of veterans earn degrees and launch new careers. But the book stipend that helps them afford textbooks and supplies hasn’t been adjusted since 2009.

That means every year, student veterans lose ground to inflation. Textbooks, lab equipment, and online materials now cost far more than the $1,000 annual stipend provides.
