BVA National President Joseph D. McNeil, Sr. will present BVA’s current legislative priorities at a joint session of the U.S. House and Senate Committees on Veterans Affairs. The 10:00am hearing on Wednesday, March 8, the first in-person session in three years due to the pandemic, will also include presentations in panel format by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Jewish War Veterans, Wounded Warrior Project, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, Military Officers Association, AMVETS, Gold Star Wives, Military Order of the Purple Heart, and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers.

A full contingent of the BVA Board of Directors will attend the testimony while in town March 5-11 for their annual mid-winter meetings. They will also visit Congressional offices in the days leading up to the hearing.

As is customary, a written version of the presentation will be submitted to Congress in advance and made accessible online by both Congressional Committees and BVA.
