Washington, March 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DAV (Disabled American Veterans) has launched a new initiative to solicit and highlight the stories of disabled veterans and spouses who have experienced service setbacks or been fired from jobs across multiple federal agencies as part of the White House and Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts to downsize the federal government.
The ‘Protect Veterans’ campaign aims to illustrate to lawmakers,
policymakers and other federal executives the adverse impacts DOGE’s cuts are having on disabled veterans’ professional and personal well-being, as well as the veteran community at-large.“It’s heart-wrenching to hear from veterans who are contacting us with fear and anxiety about the future of the benefits, services and health care they’ve earned,” said DAV National Commander Daniel Contreras. “But hearing from those who sustained illnesses and injuries in honorable service to our nation, only to later be arbitrarily fired via email by the same federal government they’ve devoted their lives to serve, is a gut punch. Our nation’s disabled veterans and their families deserve better.”
Their stories can be found at dav.org/protectveterans.
