On the anniversary of the VA Mission Act, Purple Heart veteran Chris Enget shares this open letter with our readers on how Senator Jon Tester is undermining that very law in Washington.
We first told you about this story 2 1/2 months ago. The VA is using VA resources that should be going to veterans to instead process health care claims for illegal aliens. And the Chairman of the Senate VA Committee, Jon Tester, remains silent.
Selnick, an Air Force veteran, says he was there as the Trump White House had to fight to get liberal Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) to support the Mission Act. With Tester facing re-election once again in 2024, Selnick and Concerned Veterans for America (CVA)-Montana State Director Chris Enget are hoping they can twist Tester's arm again.
A warning to our fellow veterans here in Montana: here we go again. Look at how hard we had to fight for the ability to fire bad actors that were mistreating veterans in the VA, and now the Biden Administration is trying to walk it back.
The head of the VA in Montana was "sacked," but more changes are needed at the top of the Veterans Administration bureaucracy. That was the conclusion that I shared along with our good Navy veteran friend George Blackard, who is a former Vice Commander of the American Legion here in Montana.
There was a caller from Billings that really set me off on the radio Tuesday morning. He mentioned how the VA Clinic in Billings that is supposed to be serving our veterans is STILL requiring masks.
Last month, a fellow Iraq war veteran told me how he was denied care at a VA (Veterans Affairs) healthcare clinic in Billings, Montana. Here's an update.
I know a lot of our fellow Iraq and Afghanistan veterans agree with me: being forced to wear a mask inside of a VA facility is a slap in the face to those who have served.
