Veterans Day Sparks Urgent Push for PACT Act Promises and Family Support
Veterans Day brings a renewed call to action. Senator Mark Warner, among others, urges support for military families and veterans. Key promises from the bipartisan PACT Act must be delivered, ensuring access to timely healthcare, including mental health services.
Warner, along with other lawmakers, emphasizes the need to strengthen support for military families. This includes protecting the VA workforce to guarantee veterans receive necessary services. They stress that gratitude should translate into action.
The PACT Act, passed with bipartisan support, promises improved care for veterans exposed to toxic substances. However, its full implementation remains a priority. New tools and technology are being explored to better connect veterans with care.
Transition assistance for service members is also a focus. Lawmakers aim to help them secure good jobs and education opportunities post-service.
As Veterans Day is observed, Senator Warner and other officials reiterate their commitment to honoring veterans and military families. They pledge to deliver on the promises of the PACT Act, ensuring timely healthcare access, and facilitating successful transitions into civilian life.
