I spoke to Duke directly about the Major Richard Star Act and funding our planned State Veterans Nursing Homes. He was receptive and focused while we discussed the legislation. He is making veteran mental health initiatives and PTSG one of his platform issues.

I, like many of you, have had trouble getting in contact with Rep Clyburn when it comes to communicating veterans issues. Please share this with the comrades and auxiliaries if your posts are located there.

I am hoping we, as the VFW, can make a big showing at the event, let our voices be heard, and advocate for our veterans. Remember, nobody does more for our veterans.
