1. Advanced Funding Ready for President: The Senate this week approved the VFW's top priority-advanced funding for veterans' health care. The legislation now heads to the President's desk for his signature. VFW thanks Congress for its support in getting this critical bill passed. The new law will allow VA to receive its funding a year in advance so that VA's managers will be able to provide high-quality health care and better address the needs of America's veterans. The VFW has called on President Obama to quickly sign it. Read the IB Partnership's press release at http://www.vfw.org/index.cfm? fa=news.newsDtl&did=5250.
