Happy November. With our government being shut down, it is especially important to keep up with what is happening in Washington, DC. Hopefully you are receiving and reading the VFW Action Corps newsletter and signing more people up to receive it.

Last year, the VFW started the "Honor the Contract” campaign. The importance of that campaign is still very relevant today. It is vital that we remind all Americans and our government officials that our veterans entered into a contract with the United States when they agreed to join the Armed Forces. That contract basically states that in return for serving in our military, to protect and defend our county, the government would provide certain allowances, a salary, medical care and disability compensation to military personnel.

Recently, the Washington Post published some false and harmful information in a newspaper article about veterans exploiting the VA disability system. This is horribly wrong, and it is an attack on the integrity of our veterans. Here is a short video that gives more information about the "Honor the Contract” campaign.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eizhjvkauEc
