Sept. 11 is known throughout America as Patriot Day . On this day, we remember and honor all those who were lost on that day 24 years ago. Today also reminds us of the brave generation of veterans who answered the nation’s call after 9/11. As these courageous veterans continue to age, their unique needs are growing. It’s our duty to ensure they receive the care, benefits and support that they’ve earned through their service.

VHSO is hosting a resource fair at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. This free event, reserved for Veterans, family members, and caregivers, will take place Thursday, September 4th from 10 am to 2 pm. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about a wide range of VA healthcare services, community Veterans service organizations and supportive resources.

This annual event allows Veterans to connect with healthcare providers, meet other Veterans, and engage with the community. There will be lunch, music and interactive activities available.

We hope to see you there!

National Purple Heart Day –

Purple Heart Day is celebrated on August 7th each year to honor and remember those who have been wounded or killed in action while serving in the U.S. military.
It commemorates the creation of the Badge of Military Merit by George Washington in 1782, which is the oldest military decoration still in use.

On this , DAV encourages you to take a moment to reflect on the brave individuals who’ve been wounded or made the ultimate sacrifice in service. Without their bravery and resiliency, we wouldn’t have many of the freedoms that we practice today. Do you know any Purple Heart recipients? We encourage you to pay them tribute in the comments below.

H.R. 1039, the Clear Communications for Veterans Claims Act

7527 actions taken
2473 needed to reach next goal
Dear reader,

H.R. 1039, the Clear Communications for Veterans Claims Act, would direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to evaluate and improve notice letters sent to claimants, making them clearer, better organized and more concise.

Navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) claims and appeals process can be incredibly challenging, especially when the notifications contain complex legal jargon and overwhelming information. This challenge is particularly significant for veterans dealing with mental health issues or traumatic brain injuries. H.R. 1039 requires the VA to work with a federally funded research and development center and veteran service organizations, like DAV, to simplify the language in these letters and make them easier to understand.

We support H.R. 1039 in accordance with DAV Resolution No. 306, which emphasizes that automated rating processes, such as automated decision letters, must provide specific and sufficient information to inform veterans and their advocates about the reasons and bases for rating decisions.

We call on DAV members and supporters to contact their Representatives and urge them to cosponsor and support H.R. 1039. As always, we appreciate your support for DAV’s legislative priorities and for participating in the Commander’s Action Network.

H.R. 1039, the Clear Communications for Veterans Claims Act, would direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to evaluate and improve notice letters sent to claimants, making them clearer, better organized and more concise.
