Legion Appeals for Unified Care for Disabled Veterans
The American Legion, with three thousand volunteer speakers nationwide, denounces the current system for disabled veterans. The memorial urges unifying the War Risk Insurance Bureau, the Federal Board for Vocational Education, and the Public Health Service under central control, rapid hospital construction, and immediate funding to care for 16 200 ex service men lacking beds and shelter. It cites administrative chaos, delayed compensation, and split responsibility as causes of suffering among veterans.
