Concerned Veterans for America
Reforming Veterans Affairs:Preserving Promises to Those Who Serve
Thursday, June 20, 2013 from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM (EDT)

Concerned Veterans for America is demanding reform and accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs, especially regarding the massive disability claims "backlog." Veterans waiting in line for claims--sometimes for years--is utterly unacceptable.

How do we transform a bureaucratic VA culture into a service-oriented agency that gets results? On June 20, Concerned Veterans for America will sponsor a Weekly Standard -hosted event to answer this urgent question.

The Honorable Anthony Principi
Former Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs

Senator Richard Burr (North Carolina)
