Default Veteran Issues

I want to start a page that addresses Veteran Issue. This is not a debate or political section but a section that will assist and inform former military services with issues they may have in obtaining benefit information.

The House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to restore full cost of living increases to pension benefits for younger military retirees, responding eagerly to election-year pressure from veterans groups. The House, as part of a separate bill, nevertheless voted Tuesday to restore full cost of living increases to pension benefits for younger military retirees. The final vote was 326-90.

More than 100 construction companies pledge to hire at least 100,000 veterans over the next five years.

“Veterans are invaluable to the construction industry,” said Larry L. Melton, an executive with Bechtel Corporation, one of the firms involved in the pledge. ”Men and women who serve in the military often have the traits that are so critical to our success: agility, discipline, integrity, and the drive to get the job done right.”
