WKOW Madison, Wisconsin - Proposed legis would make vets not have to choose between full retirement $ & full disability $. But Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) stopped fast track:

youtu.be/jHG6OMI21CU?...

Disabled veterans shouldn’t have to choose between the retirement they earned, and the disability benefits they deserve. The Major Richard Star Act fixes this unfair policy and honors the service of combat-injured veterans who sacrificed for our country. Congress must pass it. #MajorRichardStarAct

54,000 veterans who were medically retired due to combat injuries are being denied the full retirement pay they earned. The #MajorRichardStarAct would end this injustice. Urge Congress to act: woundedwarriorproject.org/staract.

Blumenthal asks for a middle ground - a vote on the passage of this Act before the end of the year. #MajorRichardStarAct #Vets #Veterans VA

Asks for Unanimous Consent for a time to vote requiring 60 Yeas to pass.

Mississippi jerk objects again.

This jerk, a Vet himself, calls it a double benefit and objects to wounded Veterans a small monthly award - Blumenthal responds explaining that it is *not* double-dipping & that not all Veterans are eligible because it is for combat related injuries that forced early retirement. #MajorRichardStarAct

Will you please help include the #MajorRichardStarAct HR2102 S. Amendment 2968 into the NDAA. Please help cosponsor and pass the Star Act amendment this year, end the combat veteran tax. #endthewoundedveterantax

🚨 Combat-wounded vets are still penalized for being medically retired before 20 years. The #MajorRichardStarAct fixes this by restoring full retirement + VA pay.

👉 Tell Congress: Pass it in the NDAA.

This #MemorialDay, we remember the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country.

We honor their legacy by serving the living. That’s why I reintroduced the #MajorRichardStarAct with the Wounded Warrior Project to ensure veterans receive both their retirement pay & disability benefits.

Would like to urge people to reach out to their congresscritter to support the Major Richard Star Act.
This ends the dollar for dollar reduction in retirement pay if you get VA disability.
These should be two separate payments.

Congress has approved #HR4136 honoring a #GOP Rep by naming the #VA clinic in Plano, #TX03 as the "U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson Memorial VA Clinic"

Very disappointed (but not surprised) that #MN01 @repfinstad.bsky.social did NOT sign the letter demanding a vote on #HR1282 #MajorRichardStarAct benefiting over 50,000 #Veterans (actually #DisabledCombatVeteran).

There are 5 million veterans receiving VA benefits of some kind. 1% (50,000) of them have to forfit their military retirement pay to receive them. Congress should act on the #MajorRichardStarAct now.

I was injured in combat. The military retired me. I have forfit over $300,000 of my retirement to receive my VA benifits. #majorrichardstaract

Disabled Veterans to Congress: Move Out on Stalled Bill to Allow Payment of Both Retirement and Disability Benefits Despite wide bipartisan backing, the Major Richard Star Act has languished for years, increasingly frustrating the veterans who are losing thousands of dollars in benefits.
