Efforts are underway across the U.S. to improve support for veterans. In Kentucky, the Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to connect veterans who have not signed up for benefits, highlighted by a recent conference aimed at outreach and networking among veterans and support organizations. Meanwhile, in Connecticut, bipartisan lawmakers are advocating for a property tax exemption for Gold Star families and addressing urgent needs for expansion at the State Veterans Cemetery. At the federal level, Senators and Representatives are reintroducing the Ensuring Continuity in Veterans Health Act to enhance access to community care for veterans, aiming to reduce bureaucratic barriers and improve healthcare continuity. These initiatives reflect a growing commitment to address the needs of veterans and their families, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
