Statement by Bobby Muller, Director of Veterans for America, Regarding Amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007, S. 2766
This is the time to make those yellow ribbon bumper stickers mean something by taking action to support our troops and our veterans. Every Senator and every American has the chance to put substance behind the words, 'we support our troops' by supporting key amendments to this bill.

Veterans for America Supports Pro-Veteran Amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007, S. 2766
The U.S. Senate will vote this week on amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007. Veterans for America supports amendments to the bill designed to assist service members and veterans. While VFA hopes Senators will approve all veteran-friendly amendments, there are three amendments that respond to acute needs of recent Iraq and Afghanistan war service members and veterans that we strongly urge all Senators to support.

Action Alert: Tell Your Senators to Support the Troops today
Our military and our veterans need your help today to fix some very serious problems.
Veterans for America (VFA) recently posted several disturbing news articles about veterans committing suicide and other serious mental health problems among soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clearly, VA and the military are failing to respond to this growing crisis.
A phone call or faxed letter from you today sent to your U.S. Senator can help soldiers and veterans now, before the situation gets worse.

Iraq War May Add Stress for Past Vets
More than 30 years after their war ended, thousands of Vietnam veterans are seeking help for post-traumatic stress disorder, and experts say one reason appears to be harrowing images of combat in Iraq.
PTSD is better understood than it once was, said Paul Sullivan, director of programs for the group Veterans for America. "The veterans are more willing to accept a diagnosis of PTSD," he said, "and the VA is more willing to make it."
