Congressional leaders unveiled a sweeping bipartisan veterans package Thursday that combines more than 60 separate bills into a single legislative effort, potentially delivering one of the largest expansions of veterans benefits, survivor support and VA reforms in years.

The newly introduced Take Care of America's Veterans Act (H.R. 9237) includes the Major Richard Star Act, the Love Lives On Act, expanded benefits for Gold Star families and catastrophically disabled veterans, reforms to VA health care and community care programs, and measures aimed at improving access to housing and benefits.

I don’t trust the party in charge in DC to be honorable to us veterans. Maybe if Colonel Duckworth or other Veterans (D) sign on to it, I’ll have a higher level of trust.
