"As the Secretary has refused to take responsibility for his documented wrongdoing in this matter, we, the leaders of the undersigned veterans service organizations, call on you to take further action by immediately removing him from office."
Out now: Big six vets groups (@DAVHQ @PVA1946 @AMVETSHQ @VVAmerica @VFWHQ @AmericanLegion) sends a letter to Trump asking for @SecWilkie to be fired. "He no longer has the trust or confidence of America’s veterans and should be removed."
An extraordinary life and amazing story comes to a close this week. The legacy of @GenChuckYeager does not.

Heads up: Starting Jan. 1, 2021, #TRICARE Select Group A retirees must begin paying enrollment fees to maintain health coverage. Hundreds of thousands of retirees will no longer be enrolled if they don’t set up a payment plan by this date. legion.org/veteranshealthcar…
“A date that shall live in infamy” resonates today as much as when it was first spoken. As the last World War II vets fade away, let’s take a moment to remember their world and what they did.
Today we're reflecting on events of December 7, 1941, honoring those we lost and saluting the courage and resolve of so many who went above and beyond the call. #PearlHarbor79

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all our veterans that have served our country & continue serving their community. That service epitomizes others over self, & seeks to shine the light on others. Thank you @american_8 for hosting our annual ceremony & being a leader in #Ward6!
