Years ago, from 1961-1965, I served in the United States Navy, like my brother had. As pure luck would have it, I was discharged just before the war in Vietnam started. Serving my country for four years gave me the financial opportunity to attend a university of my choice to study music. I have never needed the other benefits of the Veterans Administration. However, I am more than aware that there are millions of veterans who do.
We can help them now.
We can ALL help them now. We can ALL help America! Share this!!
The department known as the VA manages and directly provides comprehensive services for veterans. Those services include health care, short- and long-term housing options, life insurance, pensions, education stipends, and assistance in jails and courts. The VA also engages in path-breaking public health research. One-quarter of the VA’s 482,000 employees are veterans.
Those cuts will affect veterans. The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to cut 83,000 jobs, slashing employment by over 17% at the federal agency that provides health care for millions of veterans, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press on March 5, 2025.
One estimate is that of the 38,000 federal employees fired in the first five weeks of the Trump administration, 6,000 are veterans.
The media and political blow back against Trump’s cuts has already begun. Negatively impacted veterans are gaining increasing visibility. Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have begun calling on the Department of Defense to prioritize retaining and rehiring veterans.
