On May 2^nd, the BVA was accepted into The Military Coalition. The Military Coalition is a group of over 32 military, veteran, and uniformed service organizations in joint pursuit of maintaining a strong national defense, maintaining uniformed service compensation and benefits, representing the interests of the entire uniformed services including members’ families and survivors, and educating the public on the extraordinary demands and sacrifices associated with a career in the uniformed services. Being a part of a large group of veteran service organizations means that “by working together on issues of mutual agreement, the participating organizations can harness the grassroots support of more than 5.5 million members plus their families and accomplish far more than by working on these initiatives separately;” we’re going to be able to have a stronger voice to advocate for our Blinded Veterans with The Military Coalition behind us. We are grateful to be a part of this and cannot wait to work with these organizations to bring about change. Visit http://www.themilitarycoalition.org/ to learn more about The Military Coalition and what they do for members of the uniformed service.
