DAV supports H.R. 6373/S. 4009, the Veterans Spinal Trauma Access to New Devices (STAND) Act. This legislation seeks to enhance health care for veterans with spinal cord injuries by mandating that VA offer them annual yearly preventative health evaluations for the purpose of improving consideration of and accessibility to assistive technologies that could help maximize their independence and mobility when medically appropriate. Please contact your representatives and urge them to co-sponsor and support H.R. 6373/S. 4009 today: http://dav.la/3tn. New assistive technologies like the exoskeleton are now available to certain SCI veterans. This wearable assistive technology device can empower certain individuals with spinal cord injury to stand, walk, turn, and navigate stairs, which can enhance their health, socialization, independence, and participation in community activities. We ask that all DAV members and supporters contact your representatives and urge them to co-sponsor and H.R. 6373/S. 4009, the STAND Act.

30 years later, Check out what Gary Sinise had to say about playing Lt. Dan in the movie Forest Gump: “The movie opened 30 years ago this summer in July and in August of 1994, I was invited to the National Convention of the Disabled American Veterans,” Sinise recalled. “They wanted to give me an award for playing Lt. Dan and I walked on stage and there were 2,000 wounded veterans out there, screaming and yelling like I'm Elvis or something. I looked out and saw these people in wheelchairs and everything and I just broke down. I got very emotional.”

DAV supports H.R. 3644, the Addressing Care Timelines (ACT) for Veterans Act. This legislation would provide an additional 24-hour period for veterans to inform the VA when receiving care at a non-VA facility under the Veterans Community Care Program. Please contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor and support H.R. 3644 today: http://dav.la/hr3644. Currently, a veteran must contact the VA within 72 hours of receiving non-VA emergency care; otherwise VA may deny payment for these services even if the veteran is eligible for treatment. Veterans suffering medical emergencies should not have to worry about whether VA will deny coverage or refuse payment because of administrative notification time requirements. We ask that you contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor and H.R. 3644, the Addressing Care Timelines (ACT) for Veterans Act.
