Veterans
Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) is joining Congressman Scott Franklin (FL-18) as a cosponsor of the SCHEDULES Act, bipartisan legislation to ensure timely treatment for veterans seeking specialty care at the VA.
This Veterans Day, I hope you will join me in taking a moment to thank the veterans in our community who have dedicated their lives to service to our great nation. As global conflict persists, it is imperative that we continue to recognize the hard work and sacrifices made by servicemembers, veterans, and their families so we can live in freedom.
WASHINGTON - Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) denounced the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis McDonough's poorly written interim response to a previous inquiry. In a letter, Westerman wrote:
When veterans who risked their lives in service to our country visit a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facility to receive the care, benefits, and services they earned, they should not have to face political ideations and influence before they even walk through the front door.
WASHINGTON - Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) sent a letter to Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough voicing serious concerns regarding the Secretary’s encouragement of VA facilities to fly and display the Pride flag at taxpayers' expense.
WASHINGTON - Congressman Bruce Westerman joined 65 Republican Colleagues in sending a letter to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis McDonough regarding their false statements against the Limit, Save, Grow Act.
This week, President Biden and far-left Democrats have continued to desperately spread false claims that the Limit, Save, Grow Act will make devastating cuts to mandatory veterans’ benefits. This claim is a lie.
Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who dedicated their lives and risked their safety to protect our nation and our way of life.

Each Memorial Day, Americans look forward to a weekend filled with friends and family, good food, and maybe a few sales from our favorite stores to kick-off the summer. The day off work should be enjoyed, and the time with loved ones should be cherished, but as a country, we must not forget the true reason for the holiday.
