WASHINGTON, March 4, 2008--The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee led by Chairman Bob Filner (D-CA), and the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee led by Chairman Daniel Akaka (D-HI), held a joint hearing to receive the legislative presentation of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).More than a thousand war veterans visited the halls of Congress following the testimony to lobby their elected officials on issues important to the nation’s 24 million veterans, 2.2 million servicemembers, and their families.

“The information provided by the VFW is important as the Committee analyzes the budget and addresses the pressing needs of veterans,” said Chairman Filner. “As we fund the war, we must also fund the warrior. We must provide the necessary funding to pay for the health care services and benefits for our brave men and women who have answered the call of their country. Ensuring veterans are provided promised benefits and services are issues that we as a Congress must continue to take seriously.”
