Forgotten veterans deserve better
American Legion Post 93 Ceredo-Kenova has been working on a bill in Congress (HR 1901) to help veterans of Lebanon, Grenada, Panama and Korea. This bill would amend Title 38 and make these combat veterans eligible for the VA non-service connected disability pension.
This pension is paid only when a veteran becomes permanently and totally disabled and has limited or no income.
We commend Rep. Nick Rahall for introducing this bill for us. Rahall testified in support of the bill on the House floor and before the House Sub-Committee on Veterans Affairs.
