🚨 Starting tomorrow Dec. 11 through Dec. 14, #IAVA member leaders will advocate in our Nation’s Capital for the priorities of impact for Post-9/11 veterans. Stay tuned and find out more here: stormthehill.org #StormTheHill

“All we want for Christmas is a VA that works and pays its bills. That shouldn’t be too much to ask in a time of war. This GI Bill debacle is more than just a bureaucratic failure, it’s a national disgrace." -@IAVA Founder Paul Rieckhoff🇺🇸🇺🇦

Time to get work done ✅ #IAVA #Burnpits #Shewhobornethebattle #DefendtheGIBill

Here’s the bottom line: too often our veterans are treated like they are just a number in the system, dishonoring their service and sacrifice. They deserve better. #veterans #defendthegibill IAVA

Thank you Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 and Rep. Brian Mast for your support #IAVA #DefendtheGIBill #BurnPits

We just wrapped up our meeting with U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.. One more #StormTheHill meeting down, a few more to go. Stay tuned! #VetsRising

Thank you Sen Bill Cassidy, M.D. for meeting with @IAVA members on GI Bill, Burn Pits, and #BlueWaterNavy during our last #StormTheHill of 2018!

.IAVA's #StormTheHill continues with a great breakfast hosted by Amy Klobuchar. Thank you again for your leadership on #BurnPits!

"A lot of folks ask us as vets, Leonard, how many people we've killed, but they never ask us how many people we've saved." - Paul Rieckhoff🇺🇸🇺🇦, founder of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) speaking on today's "Leonard Lopate at Large" on WBAI 99.5fm. #WBAI

In the last three years, 85,000 children have died and millions are on the brink of starvation. We must tell Saudi Arabia that the United States will no longer support their despotic regime's role in the horrific war in Yemen.

.Tammy Duckworth joins the Senate Armed Services Committee next session. That puts the only two female vets in the chamber on the panel (Joni Ernst is already on there). Both served in the Middle East during the Iraq War.

Arizona has been a key battleground on VA health care access issues. Sinema has one brother who served in the Marines and another who is in the Navy.

We know extending benefits to all Vietnam Vets impacted by #AgentOrange has a direct impact on the post-9/11 generation as we fight for recognition + coverage of those impacted by #BurnPits + toxic exposures. That's why we support this #BlueWaterNavy bill: iava.org/iava-supported…

.Rep. Brad Wenstrup Thank you for taking the time to honor Capt. Stephen “Trip” Grace. 🇺🇸
