Veterans bill debts left unpaid to battered defenders
National Commander Lewis K. Gough of the American Legion argues that VA budget cuts violate the nation’s debt of honor to disabled veterans. He cites 10 000 empty beds and 30 000 veterans on waiting lists, as Korea casualties rise past 131 000, urging Congress to honor commitments already made during budget hearings. The fight moves to April and May budget decisions with 538 lawmakers to decide.
