AFSA testifies at joint hearing of the Senate and House Committees of Veterans' Affairs


"Our members have made it clear they just want to see a solution that works.  They are frustrated that our nation’s defense, their quality-of-life benefits, their retirement programs, and some aspects of Veterans programs are lumped in with all other areas of the Federal budget--on the same chopping block.  They have told us it speaks of national priorities that reflect non-support for those willing to die to defend this nation.  They are uncertain of their futures and the consistent protection of the well-being of their families. "

-- AFSA CEO Robert L. Frank in official statement for the joint hearing of Senate and House Committees on Veterans' Affairs March 18, 2015.
