Veterans For America launches new website

From VFA

In time for Veterans Day, I am pleased to announce a few important developments here at Veterans for America.


First, we have just launched a revised website. Click here to take a look. Our new website is designed to be more dynamic and more helpful to servicemembers and veterans.


One of the top features of our new site is Our Troops Newsladder , which is sponsored by VFA. This feature allows readers to post links to articles, blogs, reports, and other online material. Anyone can sign in and post material, comment, and help determine the most important stories of the day.


I am also pleased to announce that VFA is launching a Wounded Warrior Registry. In order to help servicemembers suffering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we need to know the scale of the problem and how best we can be of assistance.


If you - or someone you know - served in Iraq or Afghanistan and is suffering from one of these wounds, please take a moment to go to the Registry so that VFA can effectively advocate for you, your family member, or friend. We can help get the treatment and assistance they are due. Click here to find out more about our Registry.


VFA's Wounded Warrior Registry will help VFA continue to play a leading role in advancing legislation that addresses the needs of the newest generation of wounded warriors. In recent months, we testified before the President's Commission on Care for America's Returning Wounded Warriors (the Dole-Shalala Commission) and before the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs and met with military leaders responsible for helping wounded warriors. In addition, we continue to carry out an aggressive investigative program at bases across the country to ensure that wounded warriors get the help they deserve.


I hope that you will consider supporting us as we support our troops. All of your donations are fully tax deductible and every bit - even a small donation - helps.
