Concurrent Pay for disabled/retired Veterans
We, the supporters of our Military Veterans, desire that they are properly compensated for their injuries AND their service. We understand that Sen. Reid has prevented legislation on this issue to come to the floor for a vote. Thus, we are demanding that legislation be allowed on the floor of both the House and the Senate BY ITSELF with a roll call vote. We want "Concurrent Pay" to be fully implemented and Military Retirees pay checks be protected from deductions of this kind. Our soldiers should be adequately funded (to include the V.A. system) and given priority when budgets are created.
We consider issues concerning our veterans to be of the highest priority for our country. They should alway receive the full measure of care and compensation they need and they have earned

Why is this important?
There are tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of Veterans that are retired and also with a disability from the Armed Forces and are being denied "Concurrent Pay". The V.A. may give a soldier $600 in disability BUT then they take $600 out of their retirement checks despite the veterans being limited by health.
Almost every Senator and Congressman knows about this "Concurrent Pay" issue. However, they keep wrapping the legislation with other controversial legislation. Thus, it winds up defeated. And, lately, Sen. Reid is not allowing the Senate version to come to the floor for debate and a vote.
