    "Fiscal Hawks" & are blocking the bill in the Senate, but they just voted to fund $5 billion of Trump's useless wall. They easily support funding to appease Trump, but hesitate when it comes to helping veterans. Priorities, am I right?

    A handful of Republican Senators are blocking the passage of legislation that would deliver justice to veterans. As long as they continue putting partisanship ahead of our veterans, the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs will keep prioritizing this issue.

    veterans have been waiting too long for our government to fulfill the promise it made them. It’s a shame that a handful of Senate Republicans are blocking the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act from becoming law and denying veterans the justice they deserve.
