The present administration continues to hesitate in its responsibilities to America’s veterans.  Previous legislation has given specific authority to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to accept direct responsibility for the provision of benefit to our nation’s veterans, and especially, the service-disabled veteran.  It puts the task to that agency specifically established for the purpose of serving “those who have borne the battle.”

Public Law 106-50 and Public Law 108-183 put focus on a more direct and specific course of action for VA efforts. However, the legislated intent of the U.S. Congress has been variously interpreted by regulators due to the necessity for inserting and parsing of the required language, statements and references, of existing regulations and public laws.
 

We Need Clarification

Veterans need an absolute clarification of the resolve of the U.S. Congress and the President to clearly support the public willingness to assist in the rehabilitation of our nation’s veterans.

It is also imperative the government clarify the misconception that Veterans Entrepreneurship is a socio-economic development initiative or a cultural inequity panacea.

IT IS NOT!

Veterans entrepreneurship is a specific contribution to that continuing obligation of our nation to rehabilitate those veterans that sacrifice for our nation’s security and prosperity. There is no justification for requiring that service-disabled veteran indemnification and rehabilitation be adjusted to the conditions of any other special interest government program. The service-disabled veterans’ government-service-incurred misery is unique!

Future generations of American military heroes are forever indebted to the U.S. Congress, for their commitment to honor and support those killed, maimed, and tortured in the continuing struggle to provide security and prosperity for the people of the world.

Those Iraqi-Afghanistan veterans returning from harm’s way are experiencing a different outreach from others who have served and that’s a tribute to the collective conscience of the members of the U.S. Congress.

We demand that the U.S. Congress and the President expeditiously and acutely engage in a process of insisting that the intent of recent legislation be implemented. Now!

Veterans entrepreneurship is a specific contribution to that continuing obligation of our nation to rehabilitate those veterans that sacrifice for our nation’s security and prosperity.
