Honoring all who made the ultimate sacrifice on this Memorial Day. #MemorialDay

Sad news for all of us, but since we are all disabled to some extent, discretion is the better part of valor. Stay healthy everyone, keep social distancing and wear a mask in public. We will eventually have a vaccine and conquer this pandemic.

VA confirms that delivery times of medications have increased 25% over the last year, even longer in some areas. This is unconscionable to delay critical meds to veterans disabled in service to our country! It is even riskier in this current pandemic. Leadership must fix this!

The House unanimously passed 5 bills. S 785 & HR 8297 address veterans’ mental health & suicide reduction, HR 5245 reforms VA debt collection, HR 7105 assists vets during pandemic with food, shelter, access to telehealth & HR 3798 ensures women vets access to free contraception.

100 years ago, DAV was formed by #disabled #veterans, in the aftermath of WWI. Thanks to our members, volunteers, families, donors and partners, DAV stands ready to keep the promise to the men and women who have proudly served for the next century! #DAV100 #KeepthePromise #DAV

Met with State Senator Reeves at VFW Post 3103 today to thank him for sponsoring the resolution making today DAV Day in the Commonwealth! ⁦Disabled American Veterans (DAV)⁩ ⁦DAV Dept. of Virginia⁩

The Mt Vernon Chapter, Dept of Virginia, concurs with our DAV National HQ & 5 other national Veteran Service Organizations signatories. Military sexual assault must be taken seriously by both military & VA senior leadership. Ref: Ft Hood investigation of Vanessa Guillen death.

We heartily support HR 7105 in this pandemic era and hope it also passes intact in the Senate before having to be reintroduced in the new 117th Congress next year.

The Mt Vernon Chapter, Dept of Virginia DAV heartily concurs with this National DAV statement.

We likewise mourn the death of this veteran who was now serving with the Capitol Police. [Note: 2 of 4, not 2 of 14]

Since our Mt Vernon/Alexandria Chapter is within the National Capitol Region, we call on any DAV/DAVA members who know of other members who participated in this resurrection to immediately report their actions to the Chapter or Dept Commander, Adjutant, or Judge Advocate.

We agree! See our response to Statement 3/4.
