PFC Adrienne L. Mitchell All-American VFW Post 2122

Questions on Camp LeJeune Justice Act: Many veterans have reached out to the VFW regarding the Camp LeJeune provision (Section 804) of the recently passed PACT Act. Please be advised that there is an offset of VA disability benefits with any settlement that may be received through a lawsuit. Veterans are encouraged NOT to sign any contracts to participate in lawsuits until VA clarifies how the settlements will affect service-connected benefits and care. VA regulations on this are expected in the coming months. For clarification on the impact to your current or future VA benefits, contact an accredited VFW service officer near you.

These are the facts regarding the PACT Act. A lot of misinformation is out there; the following is directly from our DC headquarters.
Nothing was added to the bill at the last minute!
This bill does not have $400 Billion in non-veteran spending!
This bill is 100% focused on veterans and care for veterans exposed to toxins for generations!

The link below will allow you to read the entire bill.

The PACT ACT had a great and promising future for passing until 25 Senators reversed their vote to NAY. Now the ACT is in jeopardy of passing during this session.

Our California Senators, Diane Feinstein and Alex Padilla voted YEA. I'm asking all Veterans, members or not to contact them to encourage them to talk to those Senators that reversed their vote.

We need to get this ACT passed now!!!

Yesterday at 0600 we started preparing for our Xmas tree giveaway to local Veteran families. Many thanks to all who braved the early morning cold and made this event a success.

We are proud to sponsor the giveaway below.
