July 4th

Happy July 4th. While you celebrate today at picnics, BBQs, and fireworks, I hope that everyone will celebrate not only those who fought so long ago but also those who are fighting today. In my opinion, there is no better way to support our troops than to go to Operation Truth and get your facts on their situation from them. The most immediate issue facing out veterans is a shortfall in the the VA budget. The bill to make up for these deficits is different in both the House and Senate. The Senate has approved $500 million more than the House bill. The two bills will be reconciled after the holiday and Op Truth is asking people to support the Senate version (1).
