Support legislation that would benefit veterans
Placeholder Image

Editor:
I urge you to support S. 271, "Retired Pay Restoration Act of 2015," introduced by Sen. Harry Reid.  Military members who serve our nation for a full career often suffer disabling healthcare conditions that can impact their employability and quality of life.  As a member of the Air Force Sergeants Association, which represents all current and former Air Force members, I feel that these retired veterans should receive their full compensation of retirement and disability pay- no matter the disability rating.
Please do all you can do to help pass this legislation. Those who serve this nation and are impacted by that arduous service deserve no less.
