Yesterday, I was honored to accept the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) Leadership in Government Award.
I spoke about the work I’m doing to protect benefits and care at the VA, uplift the stories of our women vets, and ensure veterans remain at the center of every decision made at the VA.

Combat-injured veterans shouldn’t lose retirement pay because they were wounded in war.
The Major Richard Star Act would end the “wounded veteran tax” for 54,000 medically retired veterans.
Urge Congress to act: staractalliance.org/action.

The #MajorRichardStarAct would end this injustice.
