Let Wounded Warriors receive Enlistment Bonus!
Take Action!
Contact your US Rep. Today to support S. 2400
 
“The Wounded Warrior Bonus Equity Act” S. 2400, sponsored by Senator Jeff Sessions (Ala), ensures that veterans injured in the line of duty during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom have a legal right to the full enlistment bonus promised to them by the Department of Defense. 
The nonpayment issue was raised by the Dole-Shalala Commission, an independent working group formed by President Bush to investigate the quality of health care for soldiers returning from combat overseas.  While the Department responded to the commission’s concerns by changing its policies, it is currently not under any requirement to make full payment of bonuses to injured service members.
The legislation has passed the Senate.  Please contact your US Representative to ask for their support for S. 2400.
